A thanks to the champion of canned beer, woodychandler, for this beer. Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a hazy golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of peaches, light melons. Taste is juicy, oranges, pineapple, peaches. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall is a solid beer.

Poured into a 16 oz tulip glass not sure when it was canned. Pours a hazy yellow with a finger sticky white head that leaves thin lines of lace with solid retention. 4.25
Aroma is melon, lime, passionfruit, and apricot. 4.25
Taste follows honeydew, passionfruit, apricot, and a little hint of lime really well balanced. 4.25
Mouthfeel is medium, soft creamy gentle carbonation, not sticky or dry, and at 6% ABV it may drink a little bigger, but goes down really easy. 4.25
Overall this what I expect from them, never blown away but never disappointed. Recommend it for sure. 4.25

A: The beer is very hazy to cloudy yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of melon are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional notes of melon in the finish.
M: It feels medium-bodied and rather juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This IPA is nice and juicy. I particularly liked how the melons were incorporated.
Serving type: can

Smell: The high end of the hop spectrum really shines through; many layers of tropical fruit.
Taste: There is a lot of effervescent hops in here. Strawberry, mango and a modest amount of bitterness.
Feel: Carbonation is moderate, not too heavy of a beer.
Overall: A tasty brew.

Poured from a 16oz can dated 08/08/2020 to a Nonic. Been out of refrigeration for awhile, I would guess its about 45F.
Frothy and shapely white head sits above a hazy yellow body. Lacing is decent. Body is completely opaque, but translucent.
Aroma is lemon pith with pineapple sneaking through.
Front of taste is bitter orange pith with a sweet pineapple middle. The beer dries out completely at the end of the taste. Subtle hint of alcohol at the end, but you have to "look" for it.
Feel is a little light actually. Carbonation seems ultra fine (as in small).
Overall, a nice beer as a 6.0% offering.

A refreshing brew from Sloop-this is similar to their Juice Bomb. It is fruity, hazy and hoppy with a strong pineapple presence. This is a terrific beer for a warm summer day. It is well balanced and smooth drinking. Give it a try!
