We loved Even More Unbalanced so much that we decided to "pump the brakes" on it and scale the TIPA down to a DIPA. The same blend of Citra, Galaxy, Denali, Mosaic, and Amarillo pours an intensely hazy tangerine color with a blast of bright tropical mango, pineapple, apricot, and berry. The taste is blended tropical fruit. It remains fluffy but with a proper bitterness for balance.

Undated (WTF) can into pint glass. Pours a hazy pale gold with a flufft off-white head. Great lacing. Initial impression is pineapple, grapefruit, berries, orange, peach, and a touch of pine - nicely balanced by subdued caramel. Mouthfeel is not quite sticky, but hefty enough for a DIPA. Finish is dry and slightly bitter. Overall, a good but not world class DIPA.

Tall undated can...c'mon EQ, still not dating your cans....all your competitors are doing it...I'm not sayin'...I'm just sayin'

Pour here is fully hazed and juiced up, lifts a large and long lasting frothy cap, then leaves behind ample fine spotty lacing and copious sheeting. Nice looking brew.

Sniff is all stone fruit focused....fresh and earthy.

Tasty and enjoyable creation...more stone fruits and assorted tropical fruits abounding...freshly flavorful and quite delicious....well worth a try...go get some

Looks great, tastes good but something is throwing it off for me. I'm not sure if it's the berry or apricot but I definitely prefer the dHop2 which was released at the same time. It's still a quality beer from a top notch Brewery.
