16oz can from Tavour. Hazy, milky yellowish golden pour, frothy head subsides to a small ring. Aroma is citrus, mostly peel, taste gets a little bit more bitter, a real nice crisp snap, carried by a juicy citrusy sweet body. This is an all-right beer, very tasty.

Revisited August 09th, 2019 (can is from the same batch as my first review a couple of months back -- PARKING LOT 4 PACK 04/24/19)

There is a bit more head, at least initially, but it soon fades to a very thin entity. The smell is about the same. Every thing else remains about the same.

Granted, this is DIPA is now two months older than when I first reviewed it. Other than the slight improvement in head appearance, nothing else has changed. At least it hasn't gotten any worse...

-------------------------
Light pineapple juice look, hazy; thin and wispy white head. Mild citrus aroma with some bread crust. Light cereal grain flavor with a fairly strong hop bitterness. Medium-heavy body; dry with a slight astringency.

This is a rather underwhelming DIPA. It's rather one-dimensional without much unique hop flavor or smell. It's certainly drinkable but hardly memorable.

Canned 04/24/19

Appearance - Pours hazy and faded golden orange in color with an off-white, finger width head that fizzes away rather quickly, leaving behind very little outside a small, broken ring of suds on the outside of the glass. A few small spots make up the lacing.

Smell - The aroma is mostly a mix of white grapefruit and pineapple.

Taste - White grapefruit and pineapple upfront before a bit of guava mid-taste. Finish is mostly pineapple with a touch of pith bitterness.

Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with fair carbonation. Slick, smooth and easy drinker before a slightly dry finish.

Overall - This one has definitely matured since it was first tapped. Day one it tasted like pure white grapefruit. Glad other character is showing up now. Is it a top tier hazy? No, but it's assertive in what it's presenting, and it's good.
