L-Hazy glowing golden color
S-One of the best smelling IPA's I've experienced...a ton of pineapple, coconut and mango...can't get an IPA to smell better than this...
T-Not as sweet as expected from the nose...pink grapefruit, tangerines, oranges, mango, lighter pineapple, and a touch of coconut. Well done.
F-Smooth, soft and creamy....no burn
O-Haven't had a beer from here for awhile but the continued high praise seems warranted if this beer is an indication of what they are brewing.

16 oz can canned 7/5/23 into a nonic pint glass.
L: Pours hazed smooth whitish gold with a thin eggshell white head that has OK retention, low fine carbo, good sticky lacing with light banding.
S: Pineapple, citrus, mango, slight catty dankness, earthy fruits.
T: Lightly sweet citrus, pineapple, mango, very light citrus zest, flaked oats, light peach, a light scrape of dankness, light sweet malts on the lips and affably tart in the finish. There's a quick gush of fruit.
F: Smooth, gently creamy medium-bodied lightly juicy feel with a medium-length finish that is not dry at all.
O: Hidden alcohol. Amazing. Fantastic tasting & feeling. Drinks extremely easy at 7.5% ABV and I drank this pint with gulps. Quite fruity and masterfully brewed. One of the best tasting HIPAs I've had. It is world-class in its style.

A - Pours a pale orange body, super hazy, with a slightly gray cast. Head is white, dense, and fades to a thick, persistent cap. Lacing is fine bubble, forming up to ropey lines across the glass.
S - Pine and malt, citrus and tropical fruit, primarily pineapple, papaya and grapefruit.
T - Follows the nose, with a huge open of pineapple and peach, mango and tangerine, malty sweetness, and a mildly bitter close with hints of pith.
M - Soft on the tongue, mild carbonation, clean finish.
O - This is a superb NEIPA of high quality, lush with fruit, and quite tasty. The DDH is used to great effect, giving the beer greater depth and stronger, more robust flavors. I'll get this again, if I see it - for sure.
