Overall: Some nice hop combinations. Citra, Mosaic, and the old Simcoe that we've forgotten about. Definitely gives it a bit older school IPA vibes of dank orange, tangerine, and resinous pine bitterness. Nothing remarkable though and still a bit too heavy. (Rating: 3.85)

Great flavor, citrus without the bitter finish

 

Pours very cloudy orange-gold color with an 2 finger foamy off-white head that faded in average time and left decent lacing. Smells super dank and juicy with a blast of citrus that’s a mix of oranges, grapefruit, tangerine, papaya, honeydew melon, lime, pineapple, caramel and some mild bready notes. The triple dry-hopping dominates the nose with both citrus and tropical fruits. The flavor is more fruity and tart than sweet, that’s also a mix of oranges, tart orange juice, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, papaya, honeydew melon, pineapple, mango, and then caramel, some floral notes, graham cracker, mild peppery spices and coriander. Overall a very tasty TIPA that masks the ABV perfectly, has a very silky smooth feel even though it’s on the thick side, with mild carbonation and very little bitterness.

 

 

 

Can dated 10/10/22 into pint glass. Pours a murky brownish-gold with a nice off-white head that rapidly reduces to a cap. Initial impression is juicy citrus, mango, peach, tropical fruits - sweet, but not overly so. Mouthfeel is thick and juicy. Finish fades to a slightly sweet citrus. Overall, an excellent DIPA!
