It's the cleverest of the ever-ests. Your favorite banter-slinging, foxy DIPA now bursts with a wicked double dry hop that will keep your taste buds as nimble as your wits.

16oz can stamped "DANK DEALS 10.25.21" (about 5 weeks old) poured into a Spiegelau IPA glass at fridge temp 8.5% ABV. The beer pours murky peach colored amber with nearly white head. The head recedes to a thin ring and single layer of bubbles. The aroma is huge with ripe tropical fruit, citrus, peach etc. The taste is semisweet fruit smoothie with dank, earthy, moderately bitter finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation and a mostly dry finish. Overall, good and tasty. Enough bitterness to save things for me in a style I typically don't enjoy.

08.23.21 on bottom rim of can. Poured into a Samuel Adams Perfect Pint.
A: Moderately hazy gold with 2-finger off-white frothy head with good retention and lacing.
S: Aroma is subdued with pineapple and grapefruit on the fruity side but more floral-herbal elements along with orange cotton candy.
T: Flavor is pretty intense but a bit muddled with a lot of peach and mango with orange, lime, and candied pineapple. Overall sweeter impression than I tend to like. Esters are medium-high and take over the flavor at points.
Alcohol is hidden. Bitterness is low — I think it might be well-served to be a bit more bitter.
M: Prototypical soft, full feel with moderate carbonation and thick finish.
O: Kind of a mid-pack hazy DIPA from BI. I like many of their other offerings better.

A - Pours a fine pale orange, largely opaque. Head straight white, short. Lacing is extensive wiry line and small bubble.
S - Pungent hop nose, resin and grapefruit pith, a bit of juiciness on the end.
T - Superb combination of bright lemony citrus, a touch of grapefruit, a middle of mango and pineapple, with a touch of cracker malts, and a resin-pine finish with mild bitterness and acidity.
M - A very easy drinker, given the weight, and a clean finish. Full and lush.
O - A superb DDH double IPA, delicious and bright, so lovely and drinkable. Superb.
