Pours an opaque sunflower-gold body capped with three fingers of fluffy, white foam; good head retention leaves a rich ¾ finger of cap along with a lush, expansive collar and substantial layering of chunky, webby lacing clinging to the walls of the glass.
Aroma shows distant oregano phasing seamlessly to pineapple and gooseberry, with papaya accents and developing, waxy white grape evolving to wispy refinements; lime peel tinges enhance a dank close, a light, crackling malt spice in the distance.
Taste opens to tangerine zest with underlying floral accents trending toward guava peel and a tinge of cereal grain on the mid-palate, where a flaky, crisp malt base fuses to the pineapple core of the profile; musty lime and hints of white grape round out the finish.
Mouthfeel features a medium body sporting softer carbonation, gliding with resinous, nectar-like textures through a taut mid-palate, juicy accents rounding toward a somewhat drying back end with a subtle, peaking hop twang through the finish.
Silky resins spark a prime cohesion between a herbal foundation and layered sweetness of tropical hop tones, a duality built to a vivid and alluring peak in both hop texture and detail.

Bright lemon yellow haze. Nose is grapefruit, lemon zest, and faint blueberry jam. Taste is punchy grapefruit and orange with mellow blueberry notes. Hints of green onion throughout. Soft, not overly thick mouthfeel. Barely bitter finish.

Crowler into pint glass. Pours an opaque gold-straw color with a brief off-white head. Initial impression is grapefruit, mango, pine resin, and grass. Mouthfeel is medium and slightly soft. Alcohol is quite well hidden. Finish is slightly astringent. Overall, this is a quite serviceable DIPA - nothing spectacular, but one that I would revisit again and again if given the opportunity. Good brewery.
