Such a nice fruity IPA style , though I can't name a particular fruit it reminds me of. Honestly, it smells like nuts and cheese plus a whif of some not-too-intrusive BO. It would be great mixed with f5, I bet.
It was a couple months old and out the can.

Poured from a 12 oz can dated 5/22/20, tasted 6/20/20.
Pours a hazy orange color. Head is about 2 fingers thick, eggshell white. Retains well and laces some too.
Aroma is citrusy, a little sweeter than expected, and a little bit hoppy. Not incredibly powerful, but not weak either.
Taste follows the nose. Very good balance here between the juicy sweetness, hoppy bitterness, and zest. Finish is on the sweet side, but not over the top for me.
Feel is medium bodied, carbonation right on point. Very smooth and drinkable. It feels more like a 3.2% wine cooler than a 7.6% IPA.
Overall, very pleased with this one. As much as I love F5 and Alpha Hive, I must say this one is my favorite showing from Coop so far. I tend to favor West Coast and imperial IPAs, just because the NE sweetness is normally a bit much for me, but that isn’t the case here.

On tap. Pours a hazy golden color with a two finger head that leaves a rim at the top of the glass. Nose of citrus hops. Taste follows the nose with juicy notes and a clean finish. Medium body and medium carbonation.
The finish is a bit sweet for me but it's very drinkable and worthwhile. I still prefer Alpha Hive and F5, but a good year round brew from COOP.

Hazy yellow body with great big foamy head upon pouring from the can.
Nose is interesting. I’ll describe it as a funky fruit medley with maybe a hint of candied malts hidden within the funk, which has that hint of old furniture appeal to it.
Taste is lemony in the citrus department, along with the aforementioned funk, but now in the flavor. There’s fruit lurking in here but it’s buried deep, which is unfortunate. The funk and a medicinal aspect take the forefront.
Feels crisp and well-carbonated, with a full body and even some stickiness. Finishes dry.
I wanted to like this more. I’m not sure if this is what the brewer was going for, or if they just spun the results into the can’s description which plays upon commercial airline history so as to justify the taste as being reminiscent of a ‘70’s furnished interior. Well-played enough either way.

12 oz can
The pour here is medium hazed, lasting eggshell cap
Pungent citric nose.
Medium body and carbonation seeming to be on point.
Tasty brew with more citric and tropical fruit notes. Soft pineapple, zesty lime and then drying grainy hops late..Well worth a try

12oz canned 6-26-18
1/4" white head on a hazy gold/peach color IPA. Some floaties. Decent retention as a sparse cap and nice lacing.
Orange. Pineapple. Mango. Ripe fruits. Some yeast.
Fresh fruits, hops. Juicy. Dough. Orange-pineapple combo...zesty lime maybe.
Round full mouthfeel. Low carbonation. Low bitterness, lingering hop flavors.
Enjoyed it, expensive for a 4pk @ $12...SN Hazy Little Thing @ $8.99 for a 6pk will get my money.

Pours a cloud medium yellow. Head is White an foamy with great retention. Lots of lacing to be had.
In the nose you get tropical fruit. There is a bit or orange, grapefruit and lemongrass with some grains.
The taste is semi sweet with a bitter pine hops kick. A bit simple but if you need some hops it works.
Mouthfeel is soft and light and goes down quite smooth. Carbonation is ok.
