Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a clear golden amber color with a one finger head of puffy white foam. The head has a good level of retention, fading over time to leave a good sum of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is strongest of a yeasty and bready aroma mixed with some smells of grapefruit citrus as well as a little bit of pine. Along with these aromas comes a little bit of a melon and a touch of herb and hay.
Taste – The taste begins with a bready and doughy malt flavor mixed with a little bit of graininess as well as a touch of caramel. Other fruit flavors of an orange and light tropical fruit are there as well. At the start there is a grapefruit and herbal hop, with both getting slightly stronger as the taste advances. Moving forward some of the malt decreases a bit, all while other hop tastes of pine and some light flavors of lemon and melon come to the tongue, leaving one with a somewhat malty, and moderately hopped taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is slightly more chewy with a carbonation level that is moderate. For the malt, lighter sweetness, and moderate hop the feel is good and makes for a nice sipper.
Overall – A rather decent double IPA overall. A bit on the more malty side, but flavorful and easy drinking in the end.

pours a deep golden body with a cream-colored frothy foam head that has moderately high retention and leaves thick sticky sheets of lacing behind as it settles to a murky island with a thick halo
aroma is orange, grapefruit, and blueberry with a dose of earthy pine and touch of booze heat
taste follows that up with a super juicy kick followed by an earthy bittersweet backer, and ultimately laced with bubblegum. sticky, juicy, pretty dank - oh my.
the feel is medium-high level of carbonation and medium-to-heavy bodied; it runs pillowed, fluffy and juiced with occasional prickles and bubblegum stickiness that plasters the mouth before finishing dry and pine-hop bittersweet with grapefruit peel and more bubblegum in the aftertaste
overall:
just buy it. seriously, you made it this far, maybe wondering if they managed another successful Highboy, and the answer is yes, but now it doubles down on a few funky notes that I personally love to see pop up. successful berry? check. odd, sticky bubblegum effect? double check. traditional-west-coast-meets-NEIPA-juice? check check check.
love the hop combination here. pure alchemy
