Hazy yellow body with a finger of eggshell white foam and tons of lacing. Nose has fresh fruit especially the tropical notes. Taste has considerable dankness added, fruit is cut but now has grapefruit, piney hops. Neither smell nor taste is better just different and both are brightly pleasant. Feel is dank, soft, dry, yet has a juicy core. Well done!

L - closer to opaque than hazy. Dull yellow tones with a white head that half-and-halves between tightly-knit foam and cratering bubbles. Sticky lacing.

S - fresh green onion up front with a bit of lemon candy sweetness. Frozen mixed berries.

T - zesty and dank. Hits with the herbal bitterness from a fresh berry smoothie down to the blackberry seeds. Grassy scallions and lupulin galore. Earthy and dripping with hop oils. Pineapple candy and vanilla whipped cream mallowy sweetness. Dry finish.

F - focused and creamy. Deceptively drinkable with its initially heavy body that fades into IPA territory on the swallow. Good balance.

O - started with Blurred Up and left super impressed. This single version is still good, but felt a touch one-dimensional in comparison. Still quite a pungent concoction that I'll never turn down.

Light yellow with a half inch of creamy bright white on top. Light haziness. Heavy lacing. The aroma is of light pine. I’m tasting light pithy pine. The mouth is smooth, creamy, and refreshing.

16oz can poured into a tulip

Pours a hazy golden orange with a one-finger foamy white head that has good retention. Smells of tropical and Berryman hops; blueberry, strawberry, mango, pineapple, green melon, orange rind. Tastes of tropical fruity goodness up front with notes of orange peel, grapefruit and melon. notes of blueberry and some herbaceous dankness. The finish gives more tropical fruit. Medium body with moderate carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel and a crisp finish. Juicy and dank with high drinkability

Translucent orange straw with a full finger’s white head. Rich wall of lacing and blanket on surface.

Heist kills it once again. Ive had this beer the last four times they canned it. Never disappoints,murky orange color. Tastes like OJ but 10x better! I live in East Charlotte and there are plenty of breweries trying to do this hazy ipa thing. Heist is on point 100%
