We missed our friends from Vitamin Sea Brewing in Massachusetts, so it was a necessity for us to send them some "Greetings from San Diego" in the form of DDH Hazy DIPA which also happens to be our second collaboration with those amazingly fine humans! Hopped with Simcoe, Simcoe Cryo and Strata, this lusciously thick, mega creamy juice bomb is exploding with huge notes of red strawberry, bright orange, mixed berry welch's fruit snacks and fresh squeezed mango juice. Send it!

Had Kevin pick me up a can of this. North Park’s website called for “We missed our friends from Vitamin Sea Brewing in Massachusetts, so it was a necessity for us to send them some "Greetings from San Diego" in the form of DDH Hazy DIPA which also happens to be our second collaboration with those amazingly fine humans!

Poured a light golden hazy color with 4-to-5 fingers of rocky white head. Could see lots of bubble streams coming up along the sides of the glass. World-class uneven foamy lacing. Almost perfect foamy retention. (Sight - 4.75)

Smelled peach, nectarine, mango, mixed berry, Simcoe, Strata, strawberry, Twizzlers, red grapefruit, fresh pine and pineapple. (Smell - 4.25)

Tasted even better than the nose. Damn. So smooth. In order got peach, nectarine, mango, mixed berry, Strata, strawberry, Twizzlers, red grapefruit, Simcoe, pineapple, papaya, fresh pine and hints of lingering peppery spice. (Taste - 4.25)

Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Long, juicy finish. So smooth. (Feel - 5.00)

This was awesome. Just couldn’t get overall how smooth it was. (Overall - 4.50)
