Got a single can at The Clancy in San Francisco, California for about ten dollars. My first brew from these guys. No canned on date that I can decipher. Just ok.

Pours a hazy golden straw with a finger of foamy head that slowly settles to a thin cap with strata of lacing. Aroma of orange and citrus. Taste follows nose. Nice.

Poured outta a can into a shaker glass.
Yellow orange in color. The mouth feel is thin with high carbonation. Flavor is light citrus with a bitter bite. For being toted as juicy it doesn't fully deliver, the flavors fall flat. Its a ok beer that will capture a wide audience but I still wasn't impressed. I would recommend it for those looking to dip their toes into juicy IPAs or to take to a family BBQ.

3rd review, 1st from the brewer.
a) Suitable juicy haze body with ample white head and lace.
s / t ) Pineapple prominent from the pour, mistakable for pineapple juice.
But added more fruit notes and pine as opened and warmed.
f) Suitable juicy body.
o) I liked better than other BAers enjoyed at Mission and SFO.

Sweet, slightly overripe pineapple juice, subdued hoppy nose on this one. Taste follows with a prominent bready and almost spicy hop bitterness on the swallow. I guess because I am a hazebro, I expected a "juicy" IPA to have a smoother and fuller mouthfeel. This one was a little thin in the depth/feel department for my palate.

Appearance - Pours with a very faint haze, golden yellow in color with a white, finger width head. Fair retention before settling to a thin, consistent layer of surface suds. Decent lacing with some broken webbing, lines and small spotting.
Smell - Bready malts, citrus, mango, pine and spice.
Taste - Follows the nose. Bready undertone sets the tone while hoppy notes of orange and lesser mango before spice, pine and some grapefruit pith land mid-taste and into the finish.
Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with fair carbonation. Drinks fair before a dry, parching finish.
Overall - Juicy IPA? Not really. Drinks more like a very average West Coast IPA to me, and not smooth in the least.
