The pour is a hazy orange. The taste is juicy red mango with a mild grapefruit pith finish. Overall, I thought this was a fabulous hazy IPA although I could spot a date anywhere on the can. Cheers! B

Presentation: 12 oz. can with no dates. Served in a Willi Becher glass.
Appearance: The two finger head goes down fairly quickly and leaves behind a thin foam layer and lots of lacing in patches. It's a murky, opaque, orange-tinted gold color.
Smell: It's a soft and sweet smell of oranges, tangerines and malt.
Taste: It's juicy and fruity with no bitterness at all. There's orange, tangerines, grapefruit and cantaloupe. It finishes with a slightly rough earthy graininess.
Mouthfeel: It's quite light and very refreshing with low carbonation.
Overall: It's a very refreshing and fruity beer with a lot of character that's well balanced and easy to drink.

12 oz can. Pours very hazy dark orange with a big fluffy off white head that retains well and leaves a little lacing.
The aroma is sweet juicy citrus fruit.
The flavor is sweet juicy citrus with a bit of a sharp, slightly medicinal, bitter finish with some yeasty notes. The mouthfeel is is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, a good NE IPA.

L: Very hazy yellow-orange color with a large creamy white head that dissipates quickly and leaves several fingers of lacing. As with most of these hazy IPAs, it is an ugly beer.
S: Sweet orange and banana, it reminds me of banana orange juice from the store, mixed with a little kiwi and mango and some tropical fruit. Overall, a very juicy sweet smelling beer.
T: Grapefruit and grapefruit rind, some orange, and a bit of a piney bitterness, the beer is not nearly as sweet or juicy as the aroma would lead you to believe.
F: Mouthfeel could be a little creamier, but carbonation feels just about right for this type of beer.
O: I love the aroma of this beer, but the taste is a bit of a letdown.
