A DIPA, and hazy. Has Citra, Strata, Sabro, and Mosaic hops. Purchased a crowler from the brewery. Didn’t know whether to enter this one as an Imperial or a NE. I opted for the latter. Looks are super hazy with little head. Color is yellow but skews brownish green. I prefer more head and no brown murk. Smell is bright, citrusy and all tropical fruit. Flavor brings some pine and allium to balance which I always appreciate in a fruity IPA so it’s not cloying. Mouthfeel is very creamy, but a little flat feeling. They did a good job hiding the 8.0% ABV. No warmth at all. Very nice overall. Worth a try, but I try to limit my purchase of anything over 7.0% these days.
