This isn't a bad IPA but its not overly remarkable in my opinion. It is more hoppy/bitter with very little malt. It is a crisp double IPA but nothing to write home about.

Pint can can poured cold into a Nonic glass. Interesting little foam rises above the golden brew, laces its way down the glass.,.
Aroma is ‘familiar’ - it’s what non- hazy brewers are putting out and it’s good. Fruit and flowers.
Taste follows - there’s a good hop mix, but nothing jumps out. Again. Fruity. No bitter. Little bit of sweetness.
Feel is medium body, medium carbonation.
Overall, Utah has a nice craft brew scene. Kiitos is emerging as unique and special.
Good every day beer.,.

16 oz can from Toby. Golden pour with a mild haze, small white head. Aroma and taste offer earthy hops, light sweet malts. Not overly hoppy. Mellow strength

Had Kiitos's generically-named Double IPA, poured from pint can, bottom of label stamped "DIPA" and (apparently) canned on "12/13/22," into nonic pint.

Pours cloudy light-gold with (some odd sedimentary occlusion and) nearly 2 fingers of creamy, near-white head, with excellent retention, leaving thick rings of lace down the glass. Aromas of a little hop resin and citrus rind off pour, then sweet berry and sweet stone fruit aromas take over. On tasting, begins with somewhat sweet melon over mild malt, with a moderately full mouthfeel, then a big, noticeably resinous hop bite arrives, and carries into mixed stone fruit, before a balanced, moderately bitter, but a bit malty finish.

A little cloudy, juicy yet more than a bit malty, and with a resinously bitter but still balanced finish, this DIPA is, like Utah, not quite West Coast. Maybe it's a Mountain Time Zone DIPA?

Golden, mild haze and mild head
Aroma is peachy, literally a bit like peaches
Taste has those peaches up front, followed by a nice bitter bite, alcohol well hidden
Overall definitely a local go to

Wow, it poured a beautiful pineapple/banana color with a light orange hue. Hazy. Some creamy head that lingered. The aroma was pineapple, dank hops, and a touch sweetness. Some tropical notes as well. Tasted pineapple, citrus fruits, lemon peel, and a slight touch of booze. The bitterness from the hops lingered on my palate and never went away. Definitely full-bodied, but crisp and smooth. Quite dangerous considering its abv. Definitely easy to drink. I'm sure it would've tasted better/different if it was fresher. But, the hops and flavors held up well. I enjoyed.

When this beer is fresh, it is exceptional. Fresh hop aroma with tropical notes and some dankness. Well balanced and very drinkable, nice creamy mouthfeel. Awesome beer. Some of the lower scores might be due to Kiitos still selling this beer as it got 3+ months old, which gave me an entirely different experience than when it was 2 weeks fresh.
