Hazy amber beer with fluffy white head that settles to a thin white later in a couple minutes.
Smell is lightly fruity with citrus undertones. Taste is delicious with a minimal boozy aftertaste that is surprisingly welcomed since it's not a high gravity beer.
Highly recommended. Sadly I could only get a single 12 oz can.

12 oz can from Sprayberry Bottle Shop (Marietta, GA). 11.99/ 4 pack. Canned 1/22/18. Served in a Monday Night snifter. Enjoyed 2/8/18.
Pours a hazy amber with two fingers of billowy white head. The froth settles to a nearly full veneer and modest halo that imparts some healthy but scattered lace.
The nose is quite fruity and tropical. Passion fruit, oranges, melon.
The flavors are juicy and delicious. Melon, tangerines, passion fruit, berries and a light caramel sweetness.
Slick, medium body with lightly fluffy carbonation. Mildly bitter finish with passion fruit, melon and some citrus.
Monday Night continues to be on fire. Archipelago is another outstanding release from a brewery that I used to consider hit and miss. Whatever is going on a Monday Night they have entered a new phase and totally have my full respect and interest at this point.

Candy-fruited shortbread cookie with passionfruit, guava, pineapple, and melon with a short burst of white pepper in the finish. Feel is lush bodied but with a dry finish and soft carbonation. A really beautiful beer with delicious aroma and flavor.

Pours a hazy golden hue with a big fluffy white head.
Smell is citrus, predominantly lemon lime, some melon, wine grapes.
Taste is much the same with the lemon lime up front, sweet cantaloupe.
Light to medium bodied, dry finish with a bit of winelike aftertaste.
Overall an above average offering from Monday Night.

12 ounce can - $3.59 at Schoolhouse Beer and Brewing in Marietta, Georgia.
Again, Monday Night currently aims their dater device at the very bottom rim/edge of the can, likely catching the can post-fill along the conveyor track. As such, it's typically hard to make out at best and entirely illegible at worst. Best By... ??? **/*2/2018 is about all I can make out.
Appearance: Pours a fairly hazy, pale-colored, straw-hued body with over an inch of slowly dropping, white foam. Light lacing on the descent.
Smell: Above the modest malt base (primarily notes of wheat) are fruity, tropical aromatics smelling of lemon-lime and melon chunks swimming in dry white wine.
Taste: Soft, rounded wheatiness upfront with a little light sweetness thrown into the mix. A nice crackle of juiciness follows, with squeezed citrus (lemon-lime), a scant fresh, but clean herbaceouness, splashes of a bored housewife's Pinot something-or-other and a melony character, that very same melony character just about everyone seems to be into these days. A moderate bitterness engages with a moderate degree of acidity, and, with the fruitiness, sort of flushes all the flavors down on the lightly bitter, wheat-cushioned finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Fairly smooth mouthfeel.
Overall: Fairly solid one-off IPA.
