If you’re looking for hops, we’ve got your tail. Hop Gun IPA delivers a payload of good ol’ American hops straight to your palate, bursting forth with the flavors of grapefruit and pineapple. A careful dose of smooth caramel malts swoop in to balance out the finish — just like any good wingman should.

12oz can served in a tulip. Can is dated BB MAR 2024. Got it from @Mr3DPHD. I don't have high hopes for something this close to a best by date, since I expect breweries that use "best by" to use a longer duration than I would agree with.
Pours clear honey gold with about a finger of head that settles into a heavy dusting with a little bit of lacing. Carbonation is clearly visible with a backlight, there is definitely some ongoing fine fizz in there. Smell is not particularly strong, mostly floral, a little old musty hay, maybe some grapefruit rind lounging about in there.
Taste has many of the same notes. It's more intense than the aroma, though not super assertive for an IPA. Grapefruit rind and pine are more clear, musty hay is there but much muted (thankfully), floral is there (makes me think just a bit of the jasmine tea my pho place serves). Some grainy sweetness.
Mouthfeel is medium-bodied and a little resinous. Overall, it's pretty good. Better than I was afraid based on the date, but I think the date has affected the aroma and is starting to affect the flavor.

So I am visiting my parents in the Florida Keys for Spring Break and this was the first sixer I tried from the local Publix. It has plenty of flavor and an easy drinking body. It has the caramel and pine but not the bitterness. Kind of boring but definitely drinkable.

12 ounce bottle, fridge chilled, dumped unceremoniously into a pint glass.
This dry hopped East Coast IPA, at 7% ABV, is golden, brings a good white head.
Smell is alright - common IPA.,
Taste is grapefruit, light pine, bit of pineapple with an evident malt back. Finishes dry and the burp brings the 50 IBU hop.
Feel is crisp, medium carbonation, medium body,.
Overall, a decent IPA that can be found fresh all over Florida. Good quaffable beach beer.
