Went to Windmill Farms to grab some stuff for Chad and $113 later I had way too much beer. Was happy to see this one in stores. North Park’s website called this “Double India Pale Ale brewed with Citra Incognito and double dry hopped with Citra, Citra Cryo, and SD Beer Blend hops from Brewers Supply Group.”

Poured a light golden hazy color with 2-to-3 fingers of frothy white head. Could see some bubbles coming up from the sides of the glass. Perfect layered foamy lacing. Almost perfect retention. (Sight - 4.75)

Smelled Citra, dank pine, grapefruit rind, passion fruit, candied melon, citrus zest and floral. Just as good from the can maybe with the addition of pineapple. (Smell - 4.00)

Tasted even better than the nose. Got big Citra, lemon, lime, dank pine, dish soap, grapefruit rind, passion fruit, citrus zest, candied melon, floral and pineapple. (Taste - 4.25)

Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Long, sugary, citrusy finish. (Feel - 4.00)

Was back and forth on a few categories but I think this was really good overall. Only knock was that it was a bit too sweet but that it just nitpicking. (Overall - 4.25)

Sweet tropical hoppy, prominent orange-tangerine citrus, and citrus-dank nose on this one! Taste follows with a juicy, orange citrus hoppy bitter finish. This is really well-balanced, soft, and delicious! This is outstanding!
