look: 4 | smell: 5 | taste: 5 | feel: 5 | overall: 5

Canned on 11/14 and consumed 2 days later, poured into a Snifter.

Appearance: Caramel/Orange in color, with a nice two finger head that recedes pretty quickly and leaves very light lacing marks.

Smell: Heavy dose of citrus, mango, and oranges. Maybe a hint of pineapple and other passion fruits. Incredible

Taste: Another DIPA that is very heavy on the citrus, i also taste of bit of pine in there as well as a very mild malt sweetness. Leaves a dry and very bitter aftertaste.

Mouthfeel: Pretty good carbonation, A light to medium light body, fairly drinkable for a DIPA.

Overall: This beer crushes. The best part about it is the smell. So much going on with the citrusy fruit that leaves you wanting more after every sip. Definitely try to seek this one out, it is one of the best around.

Serving type: can
