16 fl oz pull-tab can with a blue and neon label motif:
"Double dry hopped double IPA." 9.5% ABV. Hopped with Mosaic and Citra.
BODY: Turbid orange.
HEAD: Off-white. ~3-4cm in height.
AROMA: Citrus. Mango. 2-row pale malt. Orange. Wheat.
TASTE & TEXTURE: Warmly boozy, as I feared coming in. Hop profile leans citrusy, hitting on orange, mango, and a bit of vague tropical fruit. Mosaic's signature subtle blueberry flavour (when Mosaic is used to its best) is absent here. For all New Image's marketing jargon about heavy dry hopping or whatever, this doesn't evoke Mosaic nearly as well as it should (even Lone Pint's Yellow Rose, a "mere" IPA, showcases the hop to far better effect).
Smooth, wet, unrefreshing on account of its obvious alcohol, medium-bodied. Pulpy.
Has some of what the kids like to call "hop burn" - but unlike the kids, I don't find it serves the beer at all.
OVERALL: A letdown of an attempt at an imperial IPA, bringing too much "rough" hop flavour and too much booziness for it to have any chance of measuring up to its competition.
Sorry, New Image, I'd sooner drink Lagunitas Sucks.

L - Another giant DIPA murk-bomb; decent head, less lacing than I would have expected at 9.5 - not dense, but opaque enough.
S - Dank, dank, pineapple weed; some notes of green mango on the nose, and some interesting citric acids as it warms. Becomes more full-tropical Cannabis as it warms.
T - Explodes out of the gates with front tip sweetness before some of the hoppy oil and a-acids catch up; starts like an imperial, finishes more like a giant DIPA (or TIPA territory, really). A bit too sweet for me, but impressive stuff.
F - Great palate-filling impression of tropical fruits, grass, and more MJ than was grown in northern California in the 1970s. It's pretty impressive.
O - A very good, if not excellent, DIPA that verges on the sweet-tropical-ripe train but nicely carried off New Image. They've been on fire recently. (Not for diabetics).
