One month old. Can to wine glass.
L: Pours a full and hazy yellow with a fluffy white head that leaves a good amount of lacing. Some floaters visible.
S: Strong notes of candied orange, tangerine and grapefruit. Ripe strawberries and sweet white grapes are also in the mix.
T: Grapefruit, fresh orange and lemon zest combined with hints of fresh strawberries and white grapes. Green and grassy. Medium sweetness, bitter finish.
F: Full and juicy with a medium carbonation. Smooth and slightly creamy.
O: Bursting with flavor, yet balanced and complex. A showcase of citrusy hop notes in all possible ways: sweet and candied, tart and fruity, bitter and zesty. This is as good as it gets. A masterpiece by R+B.

Pours a murky golden light orange with thick, fluffy head.
Smell is juicy and intense with notes of mango, pineapple, orange juice, grass and dank melon. Very hoppy.
Taste is juicy and intensely hoppy, but without hop burn. Notes of mango, orange juice, pineapple, melon and grass. Soft bitterness, and extremely balanced for the intensity.
Mouthfeel is medium, smooth, pillowy and chewy with good carbonation.
Overall, a pretty much perfect DIPA, exactly what a NE DIPA is all about.
