Every ounce of this beer is packed with complex flavors bursting with fresh fruity notes of melon, orange, strawberry, and currants. The secret behind this masterpiece is the light malt base that allows the hops to shine through. This, in turn, results in a crisp and dry taste, leaving room for more citrus and sweet fruits.

Poured from the 16 oz can. Clear dark shade of amber with plenty of foam in the Chimay chalice. Canned 03/21/2023 so we should make some allowances for such an elderly specimen. Still, it's not bad, fairly aromatic, and perfectly sippable. Flavors of peach and mango are quite distinct. Moderately sweet with that deep fruity taste like canned peaches. Dark and bitter aftertaste so you don't mind the sugar so much. Quite a mouthful and may be worth seeking out a fresh one.

Pours a fairly clear light amber with soft, thick head.
Smell is fruity and crisp with a slight medicinal hint. Notes of pine, citrus, peach and tea.
Taste is fruity and crisp with the slight medicinal touch again. Solid bitterness and notes of pine, peach, grapefruit and tea. Dangerously drinkable.
Mouthfeel is medium, sticky and well carbonated.
Overall, a very nice modern take on a west coast DIPA by a WC OG.

Pours a clear pale yellow with a finger of foamy head that slowly dissipates to a thin ring with plenty of lacing. Aroma of citrus and melon. Taste follows nose. Nice.
