Untappd description was “DDH Hop-Fused Foggy DIPA with Citra, Vic Secret & Nectaron.” Nice.

Poured a light golden hazy color with 6-to-7 fingers of rocky white head. Could see some slow-moving bubbles creeping up along the sides of the glass. Perfect spiderweb foamy lacing. Almost perfect foamy retention. (Sight - 4.75)

Smelled Citra and Vic Secret right away. Specifically grapefruit, lime, herbal, grass, viney berry, Nectaron, nectarine, peach and stone fruit. Much better out of the can. (Smell - 4.00)

Tasted about as good as the nose. In order got Vic Secret, Citra, viney berry, grapefruit, lime, herbal, grass, Nectaron, nectarine, peach, stone fruit, passion fruit and pineapple. That 8.2% was pretty well hidden. (Taste - 4.00)

Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Smooth finish. (Feel - 4.50)

Might have slightly underrated this overall but I enjoyed it. (Overall - 4.00)
