The hop combination of Azacca and Simcoe creates a unique and intense mix of tropical fruit flavors up front with a creamy mellow finish.

Appearance: Pours a slightly hazy goldenstraw with a two finger whipped egg white head; good retention with squiggles of lace
Smell: Lemon pine and mint with a biscuity undertone
Taste: Lemon pine flavors forward with some biscuit malt underpinning; rather bitter but quite green with a minty element, after the swallow
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation but some burn at the back of the throat
Overall: There are some decent flavors here but it has a lack of balance given the finish

L: Poured from a tallboy can to a snifter glass. Had an orange-ish color and a cloudy consistency. There was an inch of foamy, somewhat long-lasting head. Very good lacing.
S: A sweet and enticing aroma of hops, malt, citrus and tropical fruits.
T: Tasted of a mild bit of malt (mostly in the finish), lots of citrus fruit (orange, grapefruit), a fair amount of hops (just enough), and a ton of tropical fruit (mango, pineapple). This is one of those well-rounded, focused flavors. Yes, it is pretty hoppy, but it's also sweet and fruity. It's never overly bitter, but definitely sweet and smooth.
F: A well-carbonated beer with a creamy finish. Medium-bodied.
O: A incredibly solidly made DIPA. Drinkable.
