750 mL crowler. Pours a very hazy orange body. Has a big white head initially but it dissipates quickly. Smells of citrus, a hefty amount of sweetness, and an interesting grain profile. Oats and rye come through. Tastes of orange hops, spicy rye malts, and oats. The rye lends a nice bite that cuts the sweetness. Medium to medium heavy with low carbonation. Very tasty. Impressive.

Kushy Hops pours a hazy yellow color, with hints of orange, with a small long lasting, lacing head. Sweet aroma, with notes of tropical fruits. Nice creamy flavor, a bit on the sweeter side, nice tropical fruit notes, and a hint of hops. Good body and feel. Overall, a fruity and very creamy hazy IPA.

Poured from a Crowler into a snifter. Canned 3/1/17.

A: Pours a super hazy, pale rusty orange color with a one inch, foamy, white head with minimal retention. Thin, white lacing initially, but otherwise absent for majority of the pour.

S: Aromas of grapefruit, passionfruit, and guava, as well as piney and earthy hops.

T: Taste matches aromas well with notes of grapefruit, citrus rinds, passionfruit, and guava. Piney and resinous hops leave a palate tingling bitterness that lingers for a while after each sip.

F: Medium bodied, smooth, and crisp with moderate carbonation initially, though this fades fairly fast. Somewhat dry on the finish.

O: Overall, this was a good NE style DIPA. Appearance is a little scary with the hazy, rusty orange color, but this is made up for in taste. There was a slight bite on the palate from the ABV in combination with the hop bitterness, which was nice initially, but after a while it became somewhat displeasing. Would love to try this again after they've further perfected it.

Pours a cloudy golden orange with an off white head and chunky lacing..very nice. Smell is citrus ,stone and tropic fruits all the way. Taste is the same its delicious minimal bitterness with delicious fruits like pineapple,melon,papaya, sweet orange and soft malts on the finish. A soft mouth feel leads to very little bitterness just tropical hop juice. Superb IPA.

On draft. Pours a murky orange with a slight off white head.
Aroma is awesome, loaded with pineapple and tropical fruit. A slight hint of bread.
Very tasty. Lots of fruit juice. Pineapple, mango, stone fruit.
Great Mouthfeel, smooth and soft.
Very, almost dangerously drinkable.
