12oz bottle from brewers haven. An IPA on the lighter side without going session. Very fruity, citrusy, overall light bodied and not very bitter. Goes down easy.

Pours a clouded yellow color with a huge, stable eggshell head.
Smells of ripe oranges, luscious papaya and powerful limes together with a lighter nuanced herbal, skunky spiciness.
Has a soft and refreshing mouthfeel with a late, yet vivid carbonation, creating a convincing refreshment.
Tastes of orange pulp, bitter lime zest and lots of exotic fruits, gently entangled into caramel malts with a herbal, grainy character to them. Offers a velvet, blueberry and passion fruit driven mid palate, together with a good amount of white bread dough. Finishes creamy and bitter with a well working sweet and rustic malt backbone, leading to a bitter, long lasting aftertaste.
This is a great IPA uniting many desirable West Coast IPA qualities with an NEIPA fruiti- and softness.

Poured from a 12oz can
The look is a hazy golden amber with a nice fine almost creamy looking 2 finger head. Starts getting rocky and shrinks a bit but sticks around and leaves some lacing.
Aroma doesn't seem to be the main event here, but on there is some fruity/citrusy hops with a fair amount of American yeast "beer" scent. Some lighter bread malts peak their heads out at the very back, briefly.
Taste is quite similar to the aroma but more big and apparent, but with less of the fermentation character. Lots or zesty notes here bitter but quite lemon and orangey. Again some bread pale malts in the back. It's a pretty sweet one but nothing artificial seeming really.
Feel is present but crushable. Carbonated but not excessive doesn't have a major bite but is there at just the right amount. You can feel the malts in this one as you drink smooth but big.
Overall it's a nice take on a modern ipa. Not grapefruit for once but lemony and orangey without being too much all at once. Still crushable, some might say it's a bit vague.
