I got a can of this beer from my bestie from Charlotte, NC whom got it from a beer of the month club mixed pack. It poured a hazy orangish with white head that is leaving a nice lace. The scent had faint citrus notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with sweet berry puree base and subtle bitter citrus highlights. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

 

16oz can from Boise Co-op. Hazy gold n pour, half finger creamy white head. Hoppy aroma, fruity, light citrus. Taste is also hoppy, citrus zest, minor sting. Faint dank notes., Pineapple too. A little bit of everything.

smooth hop taste great hop flavor tothe finish

the latest in this series, a massively dry hopped stronger hazy ipa, fresh as can be, flavorful and ripe, fruity too, although i am fairly sure this one is not actually fruited, its all from the hops, i wonder what all they use in this. the haziness is middle of the road, not sloppy or dense looking, but blocking quite a bit of light, no visible particulate, but its well murky. the head is short and white from the tap, it looks just fine. the nose is striking, i get berries ahead of citrus, which is unique from hops, strawberries to me, even some light vanilla or honey or something in the malt enhancing that. i also get peach, juicy melon, and clementine, very appealing, still grainy too though despite the hops leading the charge, wheaty and a little raw, fuller, some minerals too. the flavor is all of this, nice balance from the grain, drier than it smells, a little alcohol running through it as well. the hops pop, seem so fresh and alive, cantaloupe, apricot, and papaya, with very little bitterness even as it sits. overall it seems very unique on the hops side, i wish i knew what was in here, some southern hemisphere element i suspect, some probably until recently numbered experimental type, something a little bit herbal too. lots of body but good carbonation too, tons of flavor, clean enough finish but the hops do linger nicely too. this is a cool series, the beers have been great, the music aspect has been fun, and they all are so distinct from each other. this is up there with my favorite hoppy beers i had when we visited roadhouse, this place rules and their beers are fantastic!

edit: i actually thought this one was a little more impressive from the can, a lot more lively and seemingly less weighty, more uniform and clean, and maybe i caught it fresher, the hops just popped, melon and lemon meringue and even coconut, modern as can be and really flavorful and drinkable for its strength, raising a few scores, this is great.
