This fascinating ferment is full of fabulous Sabro, Comet, Citra and Cashmere hops for a smooth, tropical fruitiness. A slightly bitter, densely hazy phenomenon that's strangely light in mouthfeel, keeping you satiated and still coming back for more.

12oz can served in a pint glass. Beer is super hazy pale and sickly straw yellow. Murky and ugly with a thin white head. Really bright, fresh fruit aroma with mango and passionfruit. Flavor brings in pineapple and guava along with maybe a hint of spicy lemongrass. White peppercorn? Quite thin on body, malt, and mouthfeel, very much a wheat IPA kind of profile, but with less alpha bitterness.

Pretty standard Hazy IPA, but solid all around. I like the can colors. Love the citrus smell.

12oz canned on July 27 2023
On the pour, 2 fingers of fizzy white head on top of a relatively hazy golden body that is translucent. Some lacing is left.
Aroma is bright with tropical and citrus hop aromas. Relatively light and bright.
The flavor is also relatively light. The fruit character is still present but toned down. There is a slight mineralic flavor. There is a very light hop bitterness that fades extremely fast, and the finish is a return of the fruits with some light sweetness. Super mellow, and slightly juicy.
The feel is full, but crisp and dry. The finish is long and a bit too full, contrasting with the lightness in other categories. Not as refreshing as I'd like.
Overall this gets a passing grade, but is honestly better straight out the can when you aren't thinking about it too much.

Hazy lemon color on the pour with fluffy head, which fades quickly and minimal lace. Aroma is slightly sweet and hoppy. An interesting hop blend -- Sabro, Comet, Citra and Cashmere and fruity citrus provide a pleasant taste, along with a light and creamy mouthfeel. A nice summer brew, not too boozy.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours hazy yellow orange with a small fluffy white head. Smells of bright tropical and citrus hops. Tastes of citrus and tropical fruit, light grain. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

12oz can dated 5/17/23.
Pours hazy yellow with an inch of white fluff. Moderate retention and lacing. Light notes of citrus in the nose. Light bodied with a thinnish mouthfeel. Faint notes of apricots, peach on the palate with minimal malt or bitterness. Finishes with some lingering stone fruit.

Got this as part of a variety pack. It's not great, but is surprisingly decent for a hazy IPA. Wouldn't recommend it, but at least it's drinkable.
