This is a smooth drinking Double IPA. Dry hopped with heavy additions of Vic Secret along with smaller additions of Mosaic and Centennial to create intense aromatics and notes of tropical fruits with pine.

I am sharing a tall boy can of this beer at my bestie's house in Charlotte, NC. It poured a hazy golden with thin white head that left some lace. The scent had fresh fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright semi sweet malt base with fresh fruit hop presence. The mouthfeel was medium body and good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

Appearance: Arrives cloudy with an orange hue; the head stands tall and drapes the glass
Smell: Pineapple, tangerine and pine with hints of apricot and mango
Taste: The tropical flavors of pineapple and mango merge with the apricot before the tangerine brings citrusy bitterness to the fold; the finish is juicy and moderately bitter with a piney residual
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate to high carbonation
Overall: A delicious DIPA that brings the flavor without the residual sweetness
