From a 16oz procured earlier this summer at Spyglass... quaffing out in The 'Zebo on a lazy Labor Day...
Filled a sniftah with a hard pour. It's a hazy, muted, flat yellow/straw color. Head was initially 1/4" but it's ebbed down to a fine, thin covering layer of creamy white foam. Lacing on the glass is solid. Nose is a fruit salad of aromas. Has some tangerine and peach, apricot and pineapple. Has a pretty smooth feel with a medium to medium-plus body.
Taste follows the nose with plenty of fruit action. Semisweet all the way with more pineapple, peach, apricot and tangerine, which all linger nicely on the palate. Cheers!!

IPA - Imperial / Double New
Overly ripe fruit in the hops, sweet fruit base, tangy aftertaste. Apricot and mango chunks might be a little extreme. Super smooth ride, chunky and fluffy feel is right on. The dense sweetness and tangy finish limits the drinkability for me.
