Sand City Diamond in the Rough Double IPA Review

Diamond in the Rough pours apricot-colored and hazy to the point of opaqueness. The nose is straight lupulin-packed hop pellets (homebrewers know what I'm talking about). The palate is creamy, oat-y, and full-bodied, swirling with banana, passionfruit, and tangerine notes, fruity yet not too sweet. The finish is dry and citric without any lingering bitterness.
