12 oz. can

Pours cloudy yellow-gold with a creamy white foam head. Smells like crackery honey malts, lemon, grapefruit, orange citrus, passionfruit, pineapple, with floral earthy grassy pine. Tastes like crackery honey malts, lemon, grapefruit, orange citrus, passionfruit, pineapple, with floral earthy grassy pine. Feels medium bodied, creamy and smooth with moderate low carbonation. Overall a really nice IPA.

Ok, nobody share the news that these guys are on point now. Ill still be able to get these and not fight for them before they sell out. Every last one of their beers I have had over the past two months are on point and hoping it does not stop.

A: bright sunny d color with less haze, sticky lacing and

S: aromas of tangerine, light orange, pale malt, small passionfruit appearance

T: Fresh orange, mixed with tangerine and passionfruit along with some light mango. grapefruit at the end.

M: light mouthfeel, high levels of carbonation

O: Overall this is seriously about to be a new hit with all the locals. I never had this in the bottle format and had passed it by many times. Now that I have had Correspondent, Leaf Storm, was unable to get golden rose on the first release, these guys are legit when brewing at Hooker brewery and canning their releases. I hope this is a trend that just continues...
