Poured a cloudy orange-gold body with one-finger head that stuck around for awhile. Got some tropical fruit notes in the aroma along with a very strong orange/acidic smell (tangerine). Smooth, creamy, almost a sharp and acidic citric hoppiness as well, good balance, has a mild orange juice pulp thing going along with notes of tangerine and white grapefruit underneath. Finishes dry and bitter but those aspects do not overpower the beer.

Decent head production and very good retention and lacing. Beer is opaque and hazy, as advertised, and a very pleasing shade of mango-flesh orange.

Wonderful nose, bursting with bright and juicy notes. Grapefruit, lemon, mandarin orange, and kumquat represent the citrus side of things; mango and papaya, the tropical side; white grape and blueberries, a fruity accent; and lighter notes of bright green herbs - basil, grass, a touch of pepper - add some depth. Barely noticeable white dough-like sweetness to the malt base, along with a touch of peppered cracker.

Similar flavor on the profile, leaning more tropical and sweet than the bright nose. A bit more dankness, as well, but it's fairly restrained. The juiciness of the high ABV malt base definitely comes through more, but it's not super sweet, retaining a light graininess to the malts. I've had some APAs in the 6% range that drink like this.

As expected, given 0 IBU, perceived bitterness is very low; in that respect, it doesn't drink much like an IPA, more like a carbonated fruity mixed drink or even a mimosa. Dank Mimosa; now that would be a good name for a 0 IBU IPA (you're free to use that one).
