Beer with foam present that creates an abundant hat between the white and light beige, rather persistent. The color is a golden and loaded bronze, rather fluid and rather veiled. On the nose: intense aromas of flowers, fruit, tropical, pleasant herbaceous notes, citrus fruits, chamomile flowers, a pinch of pink pepper with medium persistence. In the mouth the intensity rises to the highest levels, very bitter after a fruity start; the herbaceous appears dominant thanks to hops, dry and with a good body, structured and persistent. Notes of red fruit as cherry soften the drink which is however balanced and with a final dry, bitter, clean and persistent. The beer is stronger in the mouth that the nose and this takes away a little 'harmony, in fact the strong use of hops makes it immediately bitter and dominant on the softer side of the fruity while maintaining an excellent balance.

Clear golden color with off-white head. Aroma has fruity hops with sweet citrus and tropical notes, also slighty dank. Taste starts sweet and citrusy with ripe orange and tangerine. Finish has ripe pink grapefruit bittersweet flavor and some lingering hop resin. Medium body with medium to light carbonation. Quite nice DIPA with juicy flavors but also a good amount of bitterness.
