Hazy orange, thin but rocky white head, not much in the way of retention, streaky lace
Lots of peach and mango with a touch of dank in the smell
Pretty much tastes like it smells
Full mouthfeel, decent carbonation
Pretty good

On tap at Brookland Pint in Washington, DC.
This is the second version of this beer. Massively dry-hopped with Citra and Mosaic
Appearance: Pours a pale orange with hints of yellow. On the pale side. Hazy, but lets some light in. Nice frothy white head that retains very well.
Aroma: Not the biggest aroma I've ever had, but the quality is outstanding. Zesty citrus, passion fruit. and hints of tropical fruit. Very clean without astringency or onion.
Flavor: Similar to the aroma. Orange citrus is at the forefront with some passion fruit and tropical fruit in the background. Hints of pine and herbaceous quality toward the finish. Mild bitterness and mild sweetness are in balance. Very flavorful and super easy to drink.
Mouthfeel: Bitterness is present, but balanced. Sweetness is enough to support the hop load, but overall fairly dry for a beer in this vein, which is refreshing. Creamy, but crisp and drying on the finish.
Overall: Super well done. Could likely be convinced to up this score as the flavor to drinkability ratio is just so good. Astro Lab continues to impress.

Poured from the crowler into a Spigelau IPA glass. Canned November 3rd 2018.
Creamy, two and a half finger made head, with fine swiss cheese bubbles and a good cap. Excellent staying power with big lacing, following a pale orange, more lemon yellow and slightly hazy body appearance. A bit of clarity towards thiner areas of the glass.
Very nice soft pine and sharp green herbs hop aroma. Hints slightly floral with a touch of sweet earth quality. Simple neutral malt and yeast presence, maybe a hair of tropical going on.
Simple palate and pleasures. Chewy body but has a very fleeting feel slightly on the finish. First sip has a bit of milky and fruity quality slightly, then follows with more herbal hop pleasures, pine, mint, even a touch of mild pepper. Finish has an almost oily but fleeting neutrality, it's had to put into words. Very well controlled bitterness also.
Another pretty solid IPA, some more dialing in and there's room to grow here.
