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).

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.
