Pours a hazy, milky pineapple juice yellow with finger and a half of foamy white head.
Nose on can is piney, citrus - in glass more tropical fruit - pineapple, mango, coconut with hints of peach.
Sweet tropical fruit and citrus on the palate - pineapple, peach as warmed - at back a bit of resin, grapefruit and gently astringent bitterness.
Medium full mouthfeel with moderate combination - juicy sweetness giving way to an astringent finish.
Quality DIPA.

DIPA brewed with piles of wheat, Citra, Idaho 7 & Sabro. Canned November 2, 2022.
Appearance - Reasonably hazy, pale yellowy and chalky looking beer. A finger plus of white head rests on top and stays awhile. Decent rings of lacing left behind.
Smell - Fruity and tropical, mango with some floral aspects, a grassy bit, maybe lychee and a trace of coconut.
Taste - Pretty fruity, mango, a bit of grapefruit, lychee, and a floral and grassy flavor. Wheat backbone gets a bit lost. Coconut also kind o figures in, but it's super minor. The flavor is good, but the transitions between them seem a bit rough. Also a touch boozy.
Mouthfeel - Fairly juicy, medium-full bodied and easy to drink. Some very late dryness after the fact.
Overall - I enjoyed Radar Love and though the disparate aromas and flavors were nice, there's just something missing in making it super cohesive and great than the sum of its parts rather than slightly less. Still worth picking up and not trying to disparage the brewers on this one, it just didn't stand out in an ever increasing depth of contention.
