Can: Poured a yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops notes with some dry bitter floral undertones. Taste is a mix of citrusy hops notes with some dry floral hops undertones and light malt notes. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Enjoyable IPA that meets the classic standards.

passion fruit, oranage, guava ipa, tropical and still hoppy, but the fruit is bold in here, neat that its not super sweet, and some tang from the passion fruit comes through along with the robust citrus from both the orange and the hops, really nice hop varietal mix for this, tastes plenty fresh, and ends up real drinkable as the flavored ipa types go, pleasantly well refined, summery more than wintery for sure, but i enjoyed this in the cold anyway. it smells sweeter than it tastes, some lemon with the orange, a hint of honey to the grain base but this isnt malty in the classic sense, not at all, it actually stays pretty light in the regard, balancing the modest bitterness is all, right on for high volume drinking. i dont think its over fruited, but it has vacation vibes to me, and little hints of things like coconut, papaya, and mango. the hops have grapefruit, key lime, green tea, and honeysuckle character, perfect with the fruit, and the ferment is clean so everything is sparkling in this. medium body, flush with carbonation, a little candy-like fruit linger, but its not sweet in the classic sense. tasty modern ipa here, drinkable and fun, restrained enough to be more appealing to me than a lot of these. well done.

Hmm... would have preferred a lighter proof, it's not bad tho. I guess the fruit flavors offset the higher abv.
Idk it's ok.
They were bogo at my local Publix and at least it's a good IPA.
Bottoms up.

pours a nearly clear gold with 1 finger head of somewhat short duration, no lacing. Not a lot of smell but taste is exactly as advertised: passion fruit, orange, guava. Medium to heavy body for an IPA. lite to moderate carbonation. Good choice for those looking for a fruity but not hazy and not bitter IPA

Light orange color, light mouth feel, tiny bite on the tongue and finish. A good orange flavored beer.

Had a 12 oz. can at Mama Kwans restaurant in the Outer Banks. NC. Poured into a pint glass, this beer featured a clear gold color, a decent sized foamy white head and some bands of lacing on the glass. Head retention was better than average. Aroma and taste featured piney and some tropical fruit happiness, some dry biscuity malt and a moderate amount of bitterness. Mouthfeel was crisp and moderately bitter. We t down easy. Paired up nicely with my fish tacos.

Pours a clear, crisp gold with a generous and persistent snow white head. Fruity on the nose and fruity and hoppy on the tongue.
I do like this brew!

Chilled twelve ounce can poured into a pint glass.
Aroma of Sunny D?
Taste is rounded but unfocused; there are so many fruits and hop varieties that it tastes too artificial.
Feel is the highlight. Smooth and lightly carbonated. Easy to crush.
Overall, chick beer.

August 2023. Hartwell. A little fruity. Usually not a fan of these flavored beers. Came as part of sample pack— would not buy on its own.

Straight from the can at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage festival, this was pretty potent and bitter of pine and citrus rind, with only mild accents of the POG flavor additions.
