This Double IPA is carefully crafted with an abundance of our hand-selected Citra and Nelson hops. The hazy base of this beer provides a full-bodied canvas for one of our most beloved hop combinations, allowing the vibrant citrus flavors to take center stage

Quite outstanding, even at 3 months in the can.
Traditional juice bomb look with an attractive, pulpy murk. Pale orange-gold fluid. Modest head of compact bubbles but nice lacing.
First can I had, the nose was the star and the taste was a quarter point below. Second can is neck-and-neck and very consistent.
Absolutely fantastic combination of citrus notes, tropical fruits, green grapes, funky greens, and a little pine. Sweet and juicy orange (and orange gummy candy) leads the way, but there’s plenty of mango and pineapple upfront, too, along with grape skins and a really special weedy/vineous note.
Taste follows quite beautifully with all of the above notes at play and a wonderful back-and-forth between bitter pith and fruity sweetness. Stone fruit notes, too. I like my bigger IPAs to have a solid sweetness to them and this one is dialed in close to perfect. I also typically fear starchiness and “green burn” in these big over-hopped doubles, but here the starchiness is really wonderful and provides a nice kick to the sides of the tongue. Grapefruit pith lingers with a mild and pleasant sweet orange/mango/grape note. Zero alcohol burn, just wonderful flavors.
Feel is fantastic, with just a touch of chewiness, remarkable coating on the tongue and teeth, and a nice tickle of carbonation and starchy particulate (I know that last part sounds weird but it’s the only way I can describe it).
I’ve had so many hazy IPAs and IIPAs I’ve that years, it gets harder and harder for anything to stand out positively. But this is a really outstanding hazy, even at 3 months. Would be fascinating to try it fresher.

No date on can, into a wide wine glass.
Pours a deep orange with dense foam, fantastic head retention. Very opaque with a lovely gradient of yellow to orange. Aroma is mango, orange, and funky white grape, extremely pungent. Flavor follows nose quite well, lots of fresh white grape juice and creamy mango/guava with a little malty sweetness on the back end. There's a little bit of grapefruit as well and a tiny twinge of alcohol burn, but 99% sweet fruity hops. Body is high, carbonation is low, but this combination allows the hops to shine. It's very very smooth and creamy as well, which adds to the perception of soft sweetness.
Wow, this one is good, and for the price, it should be. I'm quite glad to see beers of this quality making it in a somewhat fresh capacity to my area finally.

Citrusy grapefruit hop character dominates aroma and flavor; juicy and nicely dank. Nice balance with little to no bitterness. Medium bodied and creamy smooth. Delicious!

Last of a four pack hanging out in the beer fridge. Aroma is as advertised: white grape, citrus tropical notes. Taste chases the aroma. Feel is soft carbonation, soft sweet & mild smaky.
