The beer pours a nice looking white and creamy head that dissipates quickly but leaves a lot of lacing on the glass that looks just as good. The beer itself is a cloudy yellow with a hint of orange and looks really nice.
The smell is really good. It has a nice mix of tropical fruit notes like orange, banana, and grassy hop notes cutting through those sweeter and more citrus notes.
The taste is delicious. It has more of a sweeter tropical fruit of orange, banana, and mango upfront with the more bitter grassy hops coming out in the finish.
The feel is pretty good. It slightly acidic with a heavy body but creamy texture and light carbonation.
Overall, a very good beer worth getting and perfect for the Spring weather.

New in the beer store today but no can date.
Light yellow golden color with a 4F head.
Very floral aroma. Some sweetness. Complex blend of citrus and tropical fruit.
I really like the MF. Spicy, carbonated, not the often flat MF of many DIPAs.
The aroma carries to the taste. Enhanced citrus, and deeper complexity.
My first beer from this brewer. Excellent!

16oz undated can from Bert's.
Pours cloudy gold with a short head. Moderate retention and lacing.
Orange, peach, mango in the nose. Medium bodied with a soft but thinninsh mouthfeel.
A bit pithy and raw on the palate with unripe peach, orange pulp, dried mango.
Finishes with minimal malt and a balancing bitterness.

Modestman Brewing LLC IPA - Imperial / Double New...
Smooth and silky sip. Earthy mango, Heavy hitting nectarine, creamy lemon merengue, and peppery Creamsicle. The Citra, Comet, and Galaxy hops are maxed out with bold fruity and creamy flavors. Lush vibe and feel with flavor complexity volume way high. May the 4th be with you.
