DIPA, double dry-hopped with Citra and added copious amounts of fresh strawberries, peaches, mangoes, and pineapple. A touch of Madagascar vanilla beans round the finish.

This is freaking delicious. Juicy, fruity, hazy perfection. Just.... yes. All the fruit flavors combine with the hopiness well, but just note that the fruitiness and zestiness come through strong.

Sweet pineapple aromatics...didn't note much hoppiness on the nose. Taste follows well with a slight creaminess and good depth and feel. For a DIPA at 9.3% ABV, this has remarkably low IBUs for a double.

16 oz. Can
Poured into a Trillium glass a pretty nice cloudy pale yellow/orange color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger plus off-white head, which also leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, pineapple, mango, peach, strawberries), vanilla, pretty nice diesel like. The taste is pretty nice hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, mango, pineapple, peach, strawberries), vanilla, pretty nice diesel like, nice little sweetness. Medium body, ABV hidden very nicely, with a nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a pretty tasty brew. Orange Julius! Addictive! MilkShake! Nice to see it around here, cheaper though.

Really nice juicy DIPA. Heavy head recedes quickly with nice lacing, pours a nice deep mango color, medium clarity, not too hazy. The fruit does a ton of work, tastes like a smoothie indeed - soft strawberry, mango, pineapple, not much hop bitterness. Nice carbonation, velvety smooth. Nice juicy DIPA here.
