From a 16oz, can purchased at the beer store.
Whiff of apricots and tangerine. Apricot is still there in the taste, but now we've got fruit punch in the middle. Tangy, with basically no malt and just a little astringency and bitterness in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is probably the only thing that gives away the ABV. It's not really a hazy or a juicy, but it's not a straight IPA either. It's something in the middle, and it works.

Canned on date 07/02/19; poured on 07/14/19. Body is light yellow amber. Hazy. 1 finger dense head. Aroma of citrus, kiwi, passionfruit, and mango, grass, and pine. Hop forward nose. Can't detect much of the malts from the nose. Taste like grapefruit, passionfruit, and mango. Heavy on the sweet fruity hops. Slight hints of pine. Light malt profile. This ale is incredibly drinkable. The alcohol is nearly undetectable. Be careful or this one could creep.

Orange brew with a nice dense head. Smells like a freshly peeled tangerine with some pine. Creamy feel and a taste like the nose with light sweetness, tons of citrus and a nice piney bitterness.

Revisited: Canned 6/20/18, consumed 7/3/18
L: Hazy, cloudy orange gold with an inch thick head that left good lacing.
A: Citrus fruits, pine and dank hops. Simcoe goodness. A tad light.
T: Zesty burst of citrus fruits and all the hoppy aromas. Delicious.
M: Smooth, medium-light, slightly thin, good carbonation, present but very easy bitterness.
O: Henhouse keeps putting out very tasty IPAs on a regular basis; this is certainly another one of them. Great mix of Simcoe and El Dorado hops here.

Pours a slightly tan gold color. Classic west coast IPA meets a burst of citrusy juiciness. Candied orange peel emerges as it warms. Then beer pops on the palate.

Can dated 10/03/17 into a tulip glass.
L: Pours hazy bronze orange with 1 finger of white high density head with good retention and left spotted lacing.
S: A bit mute, tropical mostly, passion fruit, guava, papaya, and hints of citrus.
T: Follows the nose, but more dynamic and stronger participation by the citrus, definitely juicy. Finishes with mild bitterness and mild astringency, both clear the palate quickly with slight dryness.
F: Thinner bodied, higher carbonation, velvety on the tongue. Great mouthfeel!
O: Really enjoyed another Henhouse offering, would definitely grab again!
