First in the series of Pacific Punch variants. Loads of tropical forward hops compliment the added guava puree and orange zest for a perfect summer sipper.

Pours hazy, orange gold in color with one third inch head. Taste is passionfruit, guava and slight orange. Medium bodied, sweet, with moderate carbonation. Unique, super fruity and tasty. A great sipper.

L: Poured from a tallboy can to a snifter glass. Had a yellow / orange color and an extremely cloudy consistency. There was an inch and a half of foamy, very long-lasting head. Below average lacing.
S: A very nice aroma of hops, tropical fruit, malt, and citrus fruit.
T: Tasted of a small amount of malt (mostly in the finish), a bit of citrus fruit (orange, in particular), a moderate amount of hops (just enough to make things interesting), and a good shot of tropical fruit (guava, of course). This is a light, fruity, and sweet flavor. It's not overly cloying or tart, but a good balance of sweet and bitter. Tasty stuff.
F: A good amount of carbonation with a vibrant finish. Medium-bodied.
O: A light and lively DIPA. Drinkable.

Served in a teku glass from the can.
Appearance: Cloudy yellow color with medium bubbles and an off white head rising exactly one finger's length off the body.
Smell: Sweet aroma, kid you not wish it lingered a little more to the nostrils.
Taste: Complex sweet, malty with another dose of passion fruit and citrus feel which is incredibly complex. Touch tarty but incredibly hard to keep down.
Mouth: Soft carbonation with a full body, sticky icky with smooth malty finish.
Overall: Absolutely incredible, Decadent is on full blast with IIPAs at this moment and I can't share this one. Salud!

On tap at The Beer Station (SC).
Pours with a cloudy, pale golden body with a durable white head that leaves excellent lacing.
Nice, complex fruity aroma.
The flavor is also fruity and complex. Juicy with low bitterness for style.
Medium carbonation in a medium body.

Appearance - Pours opaque bright orange with a huge fluffy white head excellent retention. Spotty lacing all over the glass.
Aroma - Orange, guava, citrus peel, grapefruit. Nose is tropical sweet fruit with a touch of bitterness.
Taste - First sip is sweet tangerine and vanilla, orange, guava. It gives to bitter citrus peel, grapefruit which balance out the initial sweetness. The 9.1% is very well hidden, I get no alcohol at all.
Feel - Medium bodied slightly creamy with a nice dry finish.
Overall - The alcohol is very well hidden nice tropical flavors, leans to the sweet side.

16oz can. Poured out a slightly hazy, golden color with a good-sized head of foam. It smelled of orange, guava, tropical sweetness. Sweet citrus taste with guava, and toasted caramel.
