“Classic IPA profile of citrus, pine, a fruity alcohol bite. Flavors of tangerine, lemon, a soft grainy sweetness. Up-front alcohol. Hits all the notes. Medium mouthfeel with a slight creaminess and minerality.”

“Apricot, peach, passion fruit, kiwi lead the complex nose with a sharp mintiness. Juicy raspberry flavor without the sharpness. Strawberry, melon, mango, a light touch of malt underneath. Bitterness tempers sweetness for a lasting but even finish. Opens and becomes more enjoyable as it warms.”

**Aroma:** “Earthy and floral—light banana, pear, and pineapple. Juicy Starburst-hops aroma with a hint of cotton candy. Orange, pineapple, mango, and banana. Increasing evergreen as it warms. Really nice fruity hops sweetness with some pineapple, mango, and citrus character.” **Flavor:** “This obviously higher-ABV take on a double IPA hides the light alcohol warmth well under fruit-salad hops notes, soft malt, tangerine, pineapple, and mouthlling carbonation. Tropical fruit in a dense pine forest with lingering bitterness.” **Overall:** “The flavor with malt sweetness and fruity goodness was quite wonderful. The aroma was a little muted (palate fatigue?). Some might say this is a little two sweet, but I think it balances well. Another double IPA that’s on the sweeter, fruitier side. A bit more muted from a hops bitterness perspective. A thick DIPA that is better sipped than quaffed.”
