The aroma is amazing, paricularly of overripe pineapple. Taste is more dank and saturated with flavors reminiscent of mango, apricot, and tangerine. Near perfect in my opinion.

Thick hazy yellow with a finger of white foam, lacing o plenty on the glass. Huge tropical fruit especially pineapple, orange juice, weedy and dank hops in the nose. Taste explodes on the palate in a juicy way: orange juice, grapefruit zest, pineapple, huge juicy peach, dank, melon, weedy, resinous and slightly piney hops. Feel is juicy, dank, bright, massive yet crushable. Pipeworks just dropping this beauty under the radar, glad I picked up

L - careful of that orange foam sunset. Good foam, decent lace, looks great.
S- legal pineapple Jamaica. Tropical notes without the coconut (thankfully). Definitely some white grape in the nose.
T - dank pineapple mango but doesn't creep into imperial sweetness. Refreshing for a DIPA.
M - DELICATE and fluffy mouth feel. Maybe its best characteristic.
O - a great haze banger from HA. Glad that no sabro dominates if it's present.

Released 12/30/20; drank 1/9/21 @ Hannah & Kenser's.
Opaque orange appearance.
A rough pour yielded a big white head; frothy lace.
Tropical punch & ganja notes in the nose.
Soft, medium mouthfeel.
Great tropical punch here, with a muted but present Half Acre sharpness on the finish.
One of their better hybrid efforts; I really liked this one.
