Pour has a fluffy off-cream head over an opaque orange-peach-gold body that has just enough give to see shadow through. On the nose are primarily notes of peach and alcohol (it is 7.5% after all). Taste inverts a bit with the alcohol being more noticeable and the peach and notes of citrus taking a bit of a back seat. Feel is on the heavier side but quite soft, verging on creamy or chewy at times with an aftertaste that follows the taste.

A golden color, moderately hazy.
I liked it. A non fruity complexity to the tastes lingering on the palate makes it interesting to someone who generally prefers straight up WCIPAs.
It was mispriced too low so i bought it. So many choices, but i could buy it again.

Poured from. 16 oz can into a shaker pint glass.
L - Pours a medium amber color with a nice white head.
S - Smells of stone fruit.
T - Tastes of peaches with a nice bitterness.
F - Medium body and carbonation.
O - Nice everyday drinking IPA. Won’t blow your socks off, but it will do the job.

Ehhh a basic IPA nothing to write home about. Kind of disappointing. Golden colored and hazy but not anything new for flavor.

There is a date code on the outside edge of the bottom of the can, near where the label meets the bottom of the can: "01/20/23"
Appearance: The body is a golden-orange color with a somewhat hazy opalescence which has enough clarity to see refracted shadows through. It has a medium-sized white head that is lumpy like tapioca but also creamy textured. It leaves nice rings of lacing on the glass.
Aroma: There is a faint aroma of peach with a hint of dusty orange.
Taste: It has an old chocolate bar flavor, like a chocolate bar with the white bloom on the outside that has been sitting on a shelf for a while that tastes a bit waxy. There is a bit of grapefruit pith flavor. It has a bit of a beet flavor. Alcohol pops in on the aftertaste. It isn't really that great of a flavor profile.
Mouthfeel: It has a light body with a light bitterness that is a bit like eating a slightly bitter vegetable. It has some alcohol presence.
Overall: Although the label on the can only states "IPA" it seems to be a clear attempt at the New England IPA style, of which it is only an average attempt. The namesake "Anywhere IPA" with the image of mountains on the can alongside a skyline with palm trees seems to indicate that this could be enjoyed anywhere, but it is more likely a decision to buck the geographic style name of "New England" in the NEIPA. As a whole it is pretty lackluster and forgettable.
