Thanks to JLindros for sharing this bottle.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice clear very light copper hue with a big two finger head that fades to leave good lacing and a blanket.

S - Aromas of candy malt, nice fruity citrus and tropical fruits. Super fruit juice, almost like punch. Just incredible.

T - Taste is similar to the nose, big candied malts, fair amount of lighter bitter citrus. Good hop oils and bitterness. The pineapple is nice. The alcohol really prominent on the finish.

M - Mouthfeel is a bit on the thin side, alcohol makes itself known.

O - Overall this was a rather solid dipa. The hops were really nice, but once again I feel this beer would be better as a regular ipa as the malts and alcohol overpower the beer.

Huge fluffy creamy 2+ finger head fades slowly, great sticky lacing, slight hazy honey amber tan orange reddish color.

Nose sweet candy malt and tropical citrus fruit, candied fruit, Hawaiin punch fruit, pineapple, tropical, mango, little syrupy reddish candy malt.

Taste brings big sweet candy malt, jammy tropical fruit, tropical pineapple mango etc, grassy earthy and spicy too, big tropical citrus fruit jam, little tangy, fair bitterness. Finish little dry big fruity tropical pineapple candied fruit.

Mouth is med to fuller bod decent carb, a bit of booze

Overall an awesome beer, a touch too much sweet candy malt and booze, but hops are awesome, just hard to get past the malt.
