Another 7.8% TG that's a tasy, well balanced 2x-kinda NE ipa, this time a collab w/Boulevard. Thick haze, good mouthfeel, nice hoppy bite & a subtle citrusy/fruity/juicy flavor & lingering backend. Very quaffable.

Citra, citra, citra! Very good DIPA! Pours an orange hazy with decent head. Tastes citrus and hops with smooth good bite. Well done!

16oz can into a pint glass. Canned 4/5/24, so 10 weeks old.
Nice looking beer, pale orange body, small white head, dripping rings of lacing. Aroma of non citrus fruit. On tasting, slightly creamy, warming, non-citrus hoppy taste with a light herbal touch. The body is on the thin side of medium, which struck me as odd. Certainly a worthwhile drink though.

Poured from a 16 ounce can dated 4-15-24 into a tulip glass at 50 degrees.
Look- Dull straw, white frothy head, opaque, above average head retention and lacing.
Smell- Grapefruit, melon, guava, medium strength of scent.
Taste- Melon, grapefruit, guava, papaya, medium strength of flavor.
Feel- Full body, slightly below average carbonation, mildly prickly, mildly sweet, mildly bitter, mildly creamy, silky, mildly mouth warming.
Overall- This beer provided a very nice drinking experience. Great look and feel with a bouquet that was more simple than the flavor profile.

I found this at my Total Wine in Daytona Beach and just because of the Brewery who I like a lot. I thought I’d try a four pack. I’m glad I did. It’s a very nice smooth very drinkable beer. I’ll give it a solid very good and I would absolutely buy it again, if it ever comes up. Is the first time I’ve seen this Hayes Cadet on sale at Total Wine. Well done.
