This was a great beer, full of fresh juicy hops and stone fruit but my can had A LOT of sediment in the bottom that separated after about ten minutes. It didn't look very good in a glass but the flavors were on point.

Thank you cjgiant for this
16 oz can, dated 5/31/17, poured into a tulip

A- A hazy golden straw with floaters and a two finger white head.

S- Citrus/oranges, sweet peaches, some honey, some melons.

T- Tropcial fruits, melons, sweet peaches, honey, some what piney finish, some citrus.

M- Smooth, medium body.

O- A solid Peach DIPA, a little on the sweet side.

Pours a great rich orange with a one finger head... losing some 'look appeal' from massive amounts of sediment and floating gunk. Smells sweet, fruit juice box, some peppery notes. Taste is a big bunch of bitter fruitiness. Not the "fruitiness" derived from hops.. adjunct juice. Bitter and biting. You can taste the 8.8% ABV. Mouthfeel is pretty nice and lush. Almost chewy. Overall, this could have been a little more subdued to make it really drinkable. Little less fruity and a little less boozey bitterness would have made this a winner.

Can dated 5/31:
I had one of these no more than a couple days after I bought it, and it was fine in its light, uniform cloudiness. A couple weeks later, I sit down to review it, and total snow globe. I shook up a second can lightly to share, and that helped only barely. The color is fine, the head is light, but ends in a medium rim with fleeting lacing.

Nose comes across more as honey and mandarin orange, initially - with another note I can't pick out. Reading the label's ingredients does allow me to recognize the peach, but as an accent to the aforementioned notes. Light hint of spice or alcohol.

A medium bodied, smooth but with a little bite feel greets my tongue. Honey and candied orange hits my tongue first. A little spice, then some nectarine more than peach before the bitterness starts to come on. Peach comes out more as it warms nearer room temp. The bitterness is barely balancing, and the orange rind and spice pair with the milky honey sweetness.

Even though it is sweeter than usual, I still kinda liked this. I recall liking it more "right off the canning line," it seemed a bit more fruity than sweet in that tasting. The sweetness might be a bit much in some cases, and I might only tolerate two in a row, but on its own, I can sit and drink it up with no problem.

16 oz. can dated 5/31/17 and poured into Teku glass.

L: 2F foamy white head with good retention. Lots of spotty lacing, cap and ring. Beer is a hazy orange and there is obvious particulate matter floating from peach addition, I think. Can't possibly call this attractive.

S: Peach, lemon-lime predominate. Also orange. Light malts. Pretty good. Neutral finish without much earthiness.

T: Follows nose and enhanced midpalate by addition of honey. Not much malt.

F: Medium bodied, light to medium carbonation. Can't ignore the sediment as part of construction. Has to be addressed.

O: The part you can drink tastes good, but it looks like something no one would want to drink.

 

 

Appearance - pours cloudy orange with decent white head. Spotty lacing around the glass.

Aroma - lots of orange, mango and a touch of alcohol.

Taste - Lots of juicy mango, pineapple with a little hop bite hat is slightly bitter. The alcohol is present in the taste as well.

Feel - Medium bodied well carbonated a little of a burn from the alcohol with a slightly dry finish.

Overall - A really well done beer great tropical flavors.

Poured into a Teku glass, a murky straw color with a white head. Tons of floaters. Peach, orange, and a bit of earthiness on the nose. The taste follows- loads of juicy peach and citrus flavors, some sweet honey, with a bit of alcohol burn on the end. Medium-bodied, moderate-low carbonation, feels in line with most other NE DIPAs on the market. Overall, quite juicy and I love the peach flavor, a solid beer!

Cloudy, murky golden body with tons of floaters and a thin white head. Aroma is peach tea and hints of citrus and grass. Flavor is juicy, noticeable peach and alcohol, hoppy and dank. Feel is smooth, slightly syrupy. A little more booze than I was expecting; but solid nonetheless.

 

Crazy nice juicy and enjoyable dry finish. Not too sweet which is awesome. Really like this one
