Sometimes you just gotta get out of your own way. Liberating quantities of our Hand-Selected Citra with powder charges of Idaho 7 Cryo and Ekuanot Cryo. What do they say? It's better to burn out than to fade away.

hazy, yellow color with a medium-sized, white head. Citrus, dank hops, and tropical fruits dominate the aroma as expected. Starts sweet, but then hoppy bitterness takes over. Rather thin for this ABV.

From a 16oz can. No date on the can.
This beer is quite murky and hazy looking in the glass. The color is a pale golden color with a 2 finger white head. The head retention is about what I'd expect, and there's just a bit of lacing on the glass.
The nose has a good deal of tropical smelling hops in it. Some pineapple notes hit my nose. There's a hint of a mango sweetness. There's a hint of earthiness in the nose.
Well the flavor is also dominated by the hops. It is tropical flavored. I am getting a ton of mango in the flavor with a hint of guava. The flavor does get a hint of pineapple on the backside with a hint of earthiness.
The body is very smooth. There's a creamy feeling to the beer. The body is very full feeling. The hops linger. This beer doesn't feel as "hot" as a 10% beer. No alcohol burn.
Very tasty beer overall. Quite delicious.

Pours a hazy lemon straw color with a white head. Smell is juicy citrus and tropical fruit. Taste is dank and juicy with papaya ,mango,citrus and pineapple. Mouth feel is a sweet and fruity minimal bitterness and ABV very well hidden. For a TIPA this was not overly sweet malty or boozy drank more like a DIPA. Twas good.
