Sampling a cold 16 oz can poured into a snifter. The beer is foamy on the open with a creamy bleached white head of 5 cm. The foam fades slowly leaving pockmarked craters on the surface and large lattice on the sides of my glass.
The aroma is some tropical fruit with mango and some peach. Also a little bit of biscuity malt and some pine sap too. fairly good mix of hop characteristics.
First sip reveals an average body with fine tingly carbonation and smooth texture.
The beer is easy to drink and goes down quickly. The flavor is again just a bit of biscuity malt and then citrus fruit and a bit of peach that comes through on the finish. There is also a lingering bitterness that dries out my palate after each swallow. there isnt any hint of alcohol and the beer is crushable. I find this beer pretty simple and good. Im not sure I would chase it down again, but im glad to have tried it.

Moderate pour yields a one inch white head over a hazy golden body with some lacing. Nose of tropical fruit, citrus, and a bit of floral aspects wafting in and out as well. Taste of citrus and slight tropical fruit with a dry citrus pith finish. Good feel and overall, a nice little session APA from Fawn Grove, PA. Cheers!

Thanks to bl00 for this one from NBS BIF #007. 16oz can poured into shaker pint glass. Poured a murky light yellow color with over an inch of white head that had great retention and good lacing.
The aroma was all hops, no grain or malt, that had a bit of a fruity scent.
I'm not very familiar with Vic Secret hops, but I found this beer to have a harshly bitter taste. Not bitter the "good hoppy" of a traditional American IPA, but in a very unpleasant way.
The body was fairly typical of the murky brews, light-medium and ephemeral, with a wee bit of flavor that lingered.
Drinkability was bit rough, maybe VS hops aren't my jam? Overall, this brew didn't work out for me at all. YMMV. Don't pass on it if you see it, and decide for yourself.

Vic Secret version. Can (new design - quite nice) dated 3/5/18 into pint glass. Pours a very hazy orange-amber with a fine-bubbled, persistent head. Initial impression is creamy-smooth tropical fruits (pineapple, mango, passionfruit) with a substantial hops bitterness making itself known. Mouthfeel is thick and smooth; carbonation is perfect. Finish is surprisingly dry and leaves a lingering bitterness. At 5.0%, this is a highly flavorable and sessionable AIPA. Well done!
