From a 16 fl. oz. can dated 09/12/21. Sampled many moons later on June 18, 2022.
I see an amber-orange color under a tremendous cream colored head with some haze and sediment.
The aroma is fruity with an emphasis on pineapple, pear, passionfruit, and a bready base. Smells a tad ashy but that could be due to the age of this can.
Medium mouthfeel.
The fruit stands out in the taste like actual fruit rather than hop sensations. I get that pineapple and pear character. It ends quite bitter. But my enjoyment was tainted by the age of this can.

Big three finger, white-yellow head in a gold body. Very smooth a malt forward with a ton of caramel. Singular notes of candied hops and fruit, and a bit of herbal dankness. Not very grapefruit, floral, or citrus like, just a little bit of lemon rind but overall a very pleasant and smooth IPA with almost no bitterness.
Packaged on 8/19/21 and enjoyed on 5/8/21. Next time I'd like to try it fresher but it was very good.

16oz can into a 16oz traditional pint glass.
L: Pours a hazed dark yellow dirty gold with a somewhat thin creamy off white head with very good retention, a fair amount of fine, unobtrusive sediment chunks, med-heavy sticky lacing and banding.
S: Grapefruit, pineapple, tangerine, citrus, very light dankness, caramelized malts, candied pineapple, thin caramel candy, light alcohol as the beer warms.
T: Sweet malt, citrus zest, citrus fruits following nose notes, pine that lingers a bit but not intensely, a hint of bread towards the finish. The hop tastes are quite durable and it is moderately bitter however it is not resinous or oily per se.
F: Mouthfeel is crisp & lively, smooth, bright with good carbonation and is lightly sticky with a med-fast finish. It is lightly drying.
O: Overall a hop forward beer that is fairly robust but not brawny. Not a powerhouse at all. It has good balance, is pleasant tasting and is excellent in it's single hop IPA style.
