I received this from @jhavs. Canned on 10/22/2018. Poured into Spiegelau IPA glass. It has a classic NEIPA appearance: turbid, muddy-golden in color with a large foamy bright white cap and abundant, thick, lacing. The nose features lemon, tangerine, grapefruit, peach, a whiff of vanilla, and light floral hops. Wow, is this delicious! It opens rather tart with lots of lemon and grapefruit notes, balanced by sweet tangerine and other hints of tropical fruit. At the finish of the sip there is a subtle but noticeable appearance of vanilla that becomes more apparent as the glass warms and gives it a creamsicle quality. The bill of Citra and Galaxy hops is very flavorful and only slightly bitter. It finishes with a touch of pepper. The mouth feel is superb: rich and creamy with a perfect level of carbonation, and the 8% ABV provides lots of substance. Overall, I'm believing the hype. S&S #4 is sensational!

A very good IPA but really stunned it scored 100. Seems like BA is throwing out 100’s like candy to kids at Halloween.
Definitely a very good IPA with a citrus and a little sour flavor but still smooth. Again a really good IPA but just not top notch like a Heady.

Had on tap at Rivercrest in Astoria NY. Deep yellow haze, really nice white leaving on the glass. Citrus, dank, resins nose… orange peel, peach. Taste is huge waves of hops, light orange peel bitterness, cracker breadiness in the background… just delicious
