Destination Unknown Beer Company Bay Shore, New York

Pint can poured to fest stemware at home showing a hazed, orangey/gold color, although listed as only an IPA on the label and also on house board at the brewery taproom. Head froth was white, fluffy, and fairly lasting, with lacing that was wavy to doily-like cling. The nose was mildly dank, with citrusy grapefruit, tropical fruit as mango & passion fruit, a bit of pit variety, and light sweetness with a pleasant malt backing. Medium bodied, with okay carbonation, the taste was similar notes, adding a citrusy, rind-like, and resinous bitterness that lingered heavily on the palate, along with some dryness to the finish. 7% abv was listed on the label and the board at the taproom, and Comet, not Orbit hops were used with Galaxy during the DDH process.
