16 oz can received through the generosity of my friends Abbie and Avery, who I'm currently pet sitting for (I think they have some true whales in their fridge right now that they don't want messed with, so they left me several cans that are specifically marked as mine!) Apparently, this is a collaboration brew with Imagine Nation Brewing over in Montana.
Poured into the glass, this was a hazy, almost opaque lemony yellow color, with a good sized off-white head. Said head dropped relatively quickly, but left lots of lace on the side and never entirely vanished in the course of it stay in my glass.
Tropical and citrusy hop aromas, in that order.
Kind of pineapple-y up front, along with a soft nectarine-ish sort of flavor. Midway through, the taste shifts to a bitter, piney flavor that, while not as strong as some hardcore West Coast IPAs, does definitely stand out a bit if you're expecting a classic New England style IPA experience.
Soft mouth feel, a little on the oily, resiny side.
I would classify this as something somewhere between hazy and juicy. I don't mind like this, but if someone were to purchase this with the idea that they're going to get something like what you might get from treehouse, they'd probably be disappointed. I would hit it again, but I'm not sure I would go much out of my way for it.

16 oz can poured into a chalice.
Thick, hazy appearance.
This has fruity, tropical flavours with a bit of piney bite. Smooth, luscious taste - I almost expect pulp to be in it! Despite its somewhat high alcohol content, there's none of the acidic alcohol bite. It would be easy to drink one and then have another, and then...oops better walk home!
I would tend to pair this with salmon or halibut with a simple, fresh preparation, asparagus with a light lemon sauce and anything with fresh pepper. This is not nachos beer.
I believe this will be worth going back to Twisp to have this on tap!

16oz can (no date) poured into 16oz tulip. Poured a fully murky orange color with 2/3 inch of white head that had moderate retention and light lacing.
The expected frooty hops and lack of grain filled the nose.
Same on the tongue, all frooty hops.
The body was the typical light and smooth of the style, with a semi-sweet finish.
Drinkability was OK, for a murkbomb.
Overall, another average murkbomb.

16oz can served in a nonic glass. Can is dated 06/19/20.
Look- Hazy golden orange color, decent off white head that slowly recedes to a thin foam cap, solid lacing. Little to no carbonation streaming visible as it sits.
Smell- Big citrus (orange/tangerine, grapefruit, lemon), tropical fruits (pineapple and mango), nectarine/peach, light berries, grainy malt, little grass and pine, some herbal/floral notes.
Taste- Juicy citrus and tropical fruit, nectarine and peach, mixed berries, grainy malt, negligible pine and some other herbal/floral hop notes.
Feel- Medium bodied, soft and somewhat sweet and sticky up front with a lingering light bitter finish. Moderate carbonation on the tongue.
O- A very solid NE style hazy DIPA. On the pricey side but definitely worth trying.
