This is an interesting encounter: hopped with Dolcita, formerly known as HBC 1019. A tropical nectar anticipated! Looks like something between lucid and cloudy. The color is like mandarin juice. The carbonation is a bit nervous, and I can witness a white fluffy head rising two fingers high. The foamy crown shrinks soon to a really messy lacing and sprays the glass with dense cobwebs. The nose receives mandarin pulp and mushy apricot. Included sweet lactose and a creamy slam. Orange zest, coconut flakes and a whisper of mint bubblegum can also be added to the list. The tongue verifies that juicy journey: mandarin dominates, orange and apricot follow right at its footsteps. Cream is evident although a bit overshadowed by the ripe fruitiness. Faint coconut but no bubblegum. Lactose remains relatively copious. The body is medium-full to full. The sweetness disturbs my assessment though. The end is identical to upfront. The mouthfeel is medium-full, juicy, pulpy, tropical and ripe. Soft, smooth and marginally lip-glueing. Nice although could show more character.
