Double IPA double dry-hopped with Vic Secret and Citra hops. Tropical fruit, tangerine/grapefruit citrus and hoppy dankness shine bright in this one.

The secret is out! More Brewing Co.'s best kept secret has lied underneath a bed of Citra and Vic Secret hops, ...until now.
Hazy, yet reasonably so, Best Kept Secret pours with a creamy golden and burnt orange hue before capping off with a tight white swath of foam. As a radiant bouquet of tropical fruit, citrus and herb drifts across the nose, the taste opens up with a creamy sweetness of honey, cereal, shortcake and faint caramel.
But as the secrets reveal themselves, they do so with a starburst of citrusy white grapefruit, tangerine and a pep of lemon before a more succulent and tantalizing tropical influence of pineapple, passionfruit, kiwi and lychee create a near tangy zing. As the fruitiness turns botanical in nature, the hops develop a peppery and resinous bitterness shaped of pine, fresh grass clippings and citrus peel.
Medium-full, the beer's truly best kept secret is in it's ability to have such a fruity aroma and flavor but finishing succinctly dry, bitter and refreshing, blending both worlds of hazy and bitter to nearly pin-point perfection- a tall task, and one which I doubt that More Brewing is going to tell us much about.

16 ounce can into a tulip snifter. Had 3/15/23.
Pours a bright, hazy pale yellow, with a two inch head of spongy foam with very good retention and a good amount of foamy lacing. Aromas of grapefruit, orange, guava, malt, some melon, light pine. Smells a little dank and grassy, has a light herbal aroma. Flavors of grapefruit, guava, some orange, malt, pine. Has a good amount of pine/herbal hop bitterness midway through the aftertaste, and tastes somewhat dank. Smooth, a very good lighter body, well carbonated.
Citra & Vic Secret are two favorites and they’re really good here. Plenty of bold citrus and bracing hop bitterness for a hazy. Liked this a lot.
