Notes: This Double IPA is loaded with waves of some of the juiciest hops available. Citra, Mosaic, Columbus blend together to make this hop juice. Intentionally left hazy with yeast in suspension to create a soft mouthfeel and enhance the flavor of this wonderfully hoppy beer.

Milkshake cloudy with an amber color. Moderate but dense head that never fully recedes. Wider streaks on the glass as the tasting proceeds.

Very good blend of slightly sweet pale malt with a floral and slightly spicy hop nose.

The malt portion has some lactose sweetness. More bitter than creamy sweet, these flavors last throughout the tasting, with the hop biting the most in the swallow. There's also a strong alcohol presence in the swallow. The body leans rich but the carbonation is a bit high as well. Long aftertaste.

Very hazy orange look with some yeast specks. Smell is strong tropical and dankness. One of my favorite brews. Sweet juiciness & a nice strong juicy hop bitterness that lingers. Very happy to have this gem available from Big Lake, MN down here in FL.

draught
Hazy, medium golden orange color. Slightly tart, citrus aroma. Medium bodied, with the bite of citrus peel astringency, to the taste. A bit thin in taste and finish.

I cannot believe such a big flavor comes from such a small can. Great tropical notes on the nose. Pours like fresh squeezed OJ and even had that kind of consistency. So smooth - the hop profile is so balanced and amazing. So crushable even at 9%ABV.

The great reviews are certainly warranted ... Slightly cloudy cider-like appearance, great nose, very delicious to the palate ... potentially dangerous due to drink ability and completely disguised ABV ... Thumbs up!!!

Pours a murky orange with thick, dense head.

Smell is juicy and fruity with notes of passionfruit, lime, orange and orange sorbet.

Taste is juicy and intense with a bit of booziness. Notes of passionfruit, lime, orange, mango and some sweetness. Moderate bitterness.

Mouthfeel is medium, soft and well carbonated.

Overall, a very enjoyable DIPA, even with some age on it.

I got a can of this beer from a beer store in La Crosse,WI whilst there to bring my daughter home early from college......thanks alot to covid 19. Anyway....the beer poured a hazy orangish with thin white head that did not leave much lace. The scent had dank fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with crisp fruit presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it's a good beer.

Hazed and clouded, pale amber/golden hued, big, beautiful white head atop.

In the nose: ah! Wow! Pungent and powerful, popping with tropical and citrus fruit notes, flooded with pineapple, lemon, grapefruit, mango.

In the mouth: Pow! Pow! Powerfully bitter and juicy, bouncing about the palate. Bitterness blazes a trail all over the tongue and spills about the back. Lush and lovely, for this double IPA-lover. Dee-lightful. Man, this is good. I could drink a few more of these. New favorite? Just about maybe.
