This is a tasty tribute to a beloved and iconic beer style - the India Pale Ale. The style goes 200 years back - has been through every spectrum of the flavor palette and had it’s ups and downs on the IBU scale. This time around we re-created a contemporary style IPA - basically the taste of the perfect IPA right now. Understated hop flavors, fruity and crisp. The future is now.

Very hazy opaque orange. Peach nose. Low head retention with just a lingering lacing on top. A little bit syrupy. Taste is peach, soft tropical fruits like mangos, strong hops. Great carbonation level.

Overall a very solid hazy, tropical IPA that doesn't try to be an orangesicle juice bomb. It has a little too much of that syrupy sweetness that plagues some IPAs in this style. Great drinkable IPA for summer at a moderate ABV.

12oz can poured in to a nonic glass. Batch #010.

Look- Hazy golden orange color. Largish off-white with great retention, solid lacing. Medium/light carbonation streams visible.

Smell- Citrus (orange, grapefruit and lemon), pineapple and mango, peach, a bit of melon, grainy malt, floral/grassy hop notes.

Taste- Similar to the aroma, juicy citrus and tropical fruit, ripe peach, grainy malt and faint pine, light bitter finish . Well balanced.

Feel- Lighter side of medium bodied, fairly sweet and slightly sticky. Moderate/light carbonation on the tongue.

O- A very solid IPA, I wish the mouthfeel was a bit heavier but no real complaints. Worth trying.

3.89/5  rDev -0.3%
look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Presentation: 12 oz. can with a batch number on the bottom but no dates. Served in a Rastal Craft Master glass.

Appearance: The one finger head stays around for a little bit and leaves behind a thin foam ring and a lot of lacing in big patches all over the glass.

Smell: It's a fruity aroma of grapefruit, peach and pineapple. A hint of malty sweetness shows up in the background.

Taste: There's a big, fruity flavor of tangerine, peach and green grapes. Some floral notes and a touch of malt show up as it goes down. 

Mouthfeel: It's very smooth and moderately light but there's substance, it's not watery at all. Carbonation is medium low.

Overall: An easy to drink beer with a lots of hoppy, fruit character.

The can has a very strong smell which is overtaking the smell and taste of the beer.

Poured from a 12 ounce can into a Shaker pint glass, there is no "best by" date that I can find.

APPEARANCE: pours a cloudy, straw color with one-finger off-white head that quickly dissipated until a thin, unbroken layer of small bubbles remained, there is significant lacing on the glass, medium carbonation.

SMELL: brown sugar, bread, flowers and tropical fruit.

TASTE: the taste follows the nose, initially sweet brown sugar then bread and tropical fruit like pineapple and mango.

PALATE: medium body and carbonation.

OVERALL: this is a very good beer, the name says it all, I would buy this again and would recommend to anyone who enjoys "modern" IPA.
