Massive whirlpool additions and double dry-hopping of Amarillo, Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic and Simcoe give Ipanema Double IPA a juicy, smooth bitterness and vivid, tropical aroma. Don't miss the hop wave, drink this beer fresh! Keep cold!

Picked up a single from the Craft Beer Quick Stop cooler on 1-25-19 for $2.89. Canned on 11-28-18; consumed on 5-12-19. Cold stored since purchase.
Beer poured a cloudy orange with a beautiful white head that has some very good hang time.
Nose is nice, citrus forward with a touch of mango.
Taste is orange, grapefruit, and some mango over a good sized malt base. Finishes with a nice pine bitterness - 6/10 on the bitter scale.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and pretty smooth.
Overall a nice traditional WCIPA with a tropical twist. This one held up well but would not mind trying a fresher version.

16 oz can from Florida. No date?
Pours with a slightly hazy, pale amber body topped by a bubbly white head that has poor retention.
Caramel and hops aroma.
The flavor has moderate strength but with bitterness that is mild for style. Good balance between the hops and malts with a particularly nice aftertaste. Notes of tropical fruits, caramel and light bread.
Medium body with medium carbonation.

Yellow slightly hazy pour. Muted hops and malt. Undefined hops and malt leaving me wanting more. Not up to par with the abundance of good/great available DIPAs. Moderate carbonation does help it go down easy. One and done for me.
