This heart warming WARM HEARTH DIPA is what you want to be sipping on this holiday. This beer is bursting with ripe mango and lemon zest, paired with a nice full body and low bitterness. The Rakau, Sabro, and Citra really come together in this beer!

A: Pours a milky murky pale to medium golden honey in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate bright orange + bright yellow + burnt orange + apricot colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense creamy sudsy foamy bright white head that slowly reduces to a couple of medium sized patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of slightly mottled very thin film and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy citrus/grapefruit + tropical/mango + citrus/lemon zest + tropical/passionfruit + stone fruit/peach hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of biscuit + pale + oat + wheat malts with light to moderate amounts of sugary sweetness.
T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of biscuit + pale + oat + wheat malts with light to moderate amounts of sugary sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy citrus/grapefruit + tropical/mango + citrus/lemon zest + tropical/passionfruit + stone fruit/peach hops which impart a very light amount of bitterness which fades away almost instantly leaving moderate lingering tropical hop flavors.
M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Moderate amounts of creamy soft/fluffiness mid-body with light amount of dryness and alcohol warming in the finish.
O: Easy to drink with decently well hidden alcohol (just a bit of warming in the mouthfeel) and a pleasantly creamy soft/fluffy mouthfeel. Enjoyable with tons of tropical + citrus hop flavors and aromas. Definitely would have another of these.

Pours a hazy golden color, appropriate head. Massive dank hop aroma. The beer is bursting with fruit: mango, guava, Nice hit of lactose adds a substantial sweetness. Lemony citrus on the finish. Dankness is nicely balanced with the sweetness and citrus. Carbonation adds to a creamy texture. Overall a very good DIOA, on par with Other Half or Finback.
