19.2oz can on the pricier side from a small neighborhood liquor store so I’m not mad about it. Like their Weekend Vibes, this is a solid middle of the road DIPA. If you’re craving a reliable hoppy beer this will hit the spot. A bit syrupy and cloying, more piney and boozy than anything. Fairly drinkable but wouldn’t buy again.

Great beer to start a weekend that's for sure. Big 16oz cans at an affordable price. Thanks Coronado Brewing. All while watching Top Gun Maverick? Chef's kiss.
Delicious beer - well balanced, pretty high ibus and a great finish. Try it - drink it. Love it. No need to over analyze.

Gifted a 6-pack of this beer (tag left on ~17$). Canned 05/14/24, consumed 07/15/24
A&S: Transparent bubbly pale yellow colored beer. Fluffy white head with good head retention and lacing. The aroma is faint but has lemon and bitter resin tones.
T&M: yikes. Some grapefruit and floral hops are present. Definitely not tropical as described on the can. The middle taste and finish are no bueno. There are a lot of off flavors including tobacco and leather. The aftertaste is bitter and almost metallic and ashy. Alcholo tones are about what you would expect for an 8.8% DIPA. Medium body and medium carb. Good balance and flows pretty well.
Overall: Much better at room temperature, but still not doing it for me. I am going to have a difficult time finishing this 6-pack. The price is also way damn too high for this product. I am hoping this is an off-batch.

Clear yellow amber brew with plenty of foam in the St. Bernardus globe. Big aroma of peach and citrus is quite appealing. Grapefruit nose. Average slushy and lively mouthfeel with substantial malty body. Tastes of orange and more orange peel, but the finish is bitter grapefruit pith. I thought I always liked DIPAs, and not seeing enough of them. This does have some good points for sippability but it's a tiresome sweet slog. Plus the unrelenting bitterness. From the 16 oz can purchased at O'Shea's. Dated 10/19/2023.
