Fresh late-August 16oz can into a snifter glass, hazy yellowy straw color with a small white head forming at the top.
Pretty dank aroma with a definite pineapple note there, underlying cracker malts. Starts with a flash of cracker malt, bit of grain, then a wave of citra hops containing light citrus and pineapple. Dank finish, light and easy to drink.
Almost like a pale ale in body, it's so easy to crush this. I suspect this has a pretty low ABV. Great beer for the summer.

hazy dark lemon color, with short-lived white head
Citrus on the nose with hit of herbal
Quite bitter tasting, with a citrus pine, hint of grapefruit and hint of pineapple
Light bodied, quite refreshing
It is good to try these singe hops for the experience. Night Shift does a good job

Canned 1/23/20
Pours a cloudy pale gold with 2 fingers of rocky white head that leaves decent lacing
Very bright citrus on the nose, tropical in nature, there's a fruity component and a floral hop component that work really well together. The light bitterness detectable in the nose is balanced out by a smooth malt
The taste follows the nose here but is a little less bold. There's a nice lemon tang that compliments the sweeter tropical notes
Moderate carbonation and a creamy feel make this very easy to pound, but the light hop bite gives it some heft
Overall a really good beer, possibly one of my favorite IPA's, a style I'm always looking for innovative examples of. I'll most definitely be seeking out citra hopped beers as well

Cannot believe this rating. This is pure swill. This reminds me of an ipa in 2012. This has an overly malty taste with a small fruity smell. Do not buy this beer. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Absolute piss beer.

On tap at 2 Bros. Pours a hazy yellow with an inch of frothy head. Lots of lacing. The aroma is lots of citrus, of course. Grapefruit, lemon, lime and fruity candy. The taste is the fruity candy, almost like Starburst or Skittles. Lemon, pink grapefruit, lime and tangerine. Medium body with a slightly oily mouthfeel. Not much alcohol heat.
