16 oz can from Tavour. Medium hazy golden, one finger fluffy head lasts down through the glass. Aroma is musty tropical fruits, taste brings citrus peel in for some bitterness . Not too sweet, full of flavor, nice weight.

L: Warm and beautiful hue of unfiltered pineapple juice with a frothy three finger head fading slowly to a quarter finger cap and some temporary lacing.
S: Different this one. Stonefruit mostly apricot with a touch of cantaloupe on the nose as well as obvious bitterness.
T: Very bitter upfront and lasting bite long after you swallow. Unfortunate. This pine resin overpowers the fruits to the point of not recognizing them. Update: Another week made a difference here. Rating updated.
F: Medium weight, no chalkiness. Carbonation is also a bit high which adds to the bite.
O: Pass. I love pine and bitter, but this is too much. Back of my tongue is still unhappy long after finishing.
Update: Another week made a difference here. Rating updated. I never thought aging an IPA would round it out!

16oz can served in a pint glass. No date.
Pours hazy yellow with a big fluffy head. Smell is straw and juice. Some resin.
Taste is a lot of citrus and some tropical juice.
Mouthfeel is medium and dry. Overall, good beer.

Soft, faded pale yellow body with a glowing haze; thick and frothy white head, rocky and sticky. Typical dank and old citrus aroma of hazy IPAs; fruity; pineapple and grapefruit. Nice flavor; dull citrus and fruit notes with a strong hop bitterness; some grainy malt presence. Heavy body; creamy with an underlying dryness.
This beer delivers a great look then quickly falls into the category of "just another fine yet unremarkable" hazy IPA.

Love the creaminess, so lovely going down. Mango pineapple with some great hop bitterness. The only small knock on this for me is there is a slight slight unpleasant bite at the end. Still damn good!
