Big name. Bigger flavour. This one pours soft and golden with that proper pillowy haze, then rolls in with waves of juicy citrus and sweet orange from a generous hit of Amarillo. There’s a touch of ripe stone fruit in there too, wrapped up in a smooth, creamy body thanks to all that oat and wheat goodness. It’s 8.0%, but don’t let that scare you. The bitterness is kept nicely in check, so it drinks dangerously easy for something packing this much punch. Juicy. Full. Silky. A DIPA that means business — without shouting about it. Crack one open and let the dreams begin.

Looks promising (if pouring high) and gets layers into the aroma for a single hop beer, especially one that’s known so well. Amarillo, by reputation, is good for more than orange: it can bring tropical and stone fruit, too.
That’s at play here: taste brings varying intensities, flipping between candy + tart juice, across a range of fruit. It’s fun, interesting and never too heavy (Amarillo never gets called dank.)
And then the finish ruins it with both bitterness that is too scratchy for the flavour profile + some jaggedly salty water chem. Every sip should end with a cleanliness that makes you want the next sip, not with a wince. It’s almost like it suddenly needs to remind you that it’s a DIPA. I don’t want another cuddly toy fruit smoothie, but this just turns the lights on at the party.
Whiplash somehow still missing a step somewhere.
