This beer is very sneaky at 11% (abv) with no hops in the kettle, fermented on kveik yeast and 100% dry hopped with cryo Citra, cryo Simcoe, Motueka and Vic Secret (hops), this is straight joose.

Pours a hazy, yellow-amber with a light head. Aroma is... Aroma is...I'm not sure. I want to say nectarines and guava. Taste is... Taste is...I'm not sure. I want to say papaya. This is a difficult beer to nail down as it doesn't really have a taste profile that lends itself to knowing what it is. It is a light citrus, moderate body and carbonation with not much else. It's fine to drink but it is kind of like tofu. Not bad. Not outstanding either.

Excellent apricot colored body; semi-hazy; nice white head; dense and sudsy. Citrus and tropical fruit aroma; orange and papaya with pineapple. Fairly fresh fruit tastes following along the lines of the smell; muted alcohol presence. Heavy body; velvety; boozy warmth lingering throughout; semi-dry overall yet still with a nice juicy presence.
For a very high ABV IPA, this beer still comes across with very respectable balance and complexity.

Served in a Tulip from the glass.
Appearance: comes off and pure opaque gold body which you cannot see through pretty much it is easy as it gets with medium bubbles to the body creating an off-white head rising half of fingers length off the body.
Smell: has a caramel citrus aroma which hugs the nostrils but yet it could be a touch more potent.
Taste: a very complex bro you taste citrus heavy malts with a light floralness to the beer.
Mouth: very sticky body I mean sticky sticky to the point that it's like I put the glass down and I am still teasing the beer 30 seconds into the movie. It's a bit dry but honestly you forget about it real quick.
Overall: I have had a lot of DubCo beers, but this one seriously captured my heart. I have had the original Abuse of Science and this one is literally like the perfect New York cheesecake slice. Salud.

16 oz can from Tavour. Pale golden with a light haze, nice fluffy head, big clumpy lacing and lots of fine carbonation. Aroma is bready with light citrus notes. Taste is more the biscuit malts, light lemon peel zest, gentle bitterness. The feel is beautiful, thi\ck, creamy and exceptionally smooth for a beer of this potency. No sign of the ABV whatsoever.
