1 Pint Can. 7 Days Fresh.
A: Poured a deep hazed yellow. Has a nice brightness to it. Two fingers of fluffy off-white head. Nice retention with some pretty sticky lacing.
S: Some sweetness with stone fruits. Nothing explodes into the nose but what’s there lasts long.
T/M: Hops are tropical and sweet. Berries and some spice. Floral flavors pop. It really does have a bubblegum taste to it. Moderat bitterness. Smooth. The alcohol is hidden well at 8%.
O: Interesting DIPA/NEIPA with distinct flavors. Worth a try.
Cheers!!

Poured from a can, dated 1/26/18.
Looks good, hazy copper with a thin white head (haziness strongly depends on pouring the sediment or not).
Smell and taste are great, very flavorful use of hops, mango and berry, apricot and peach, a bit of bubblegum. A sweet grainy caramel finish, with a somewhat dark spice lingering to counter the bright fruit burst at the start.
Pretty good feel. Smooth with low bitterness, but not a creamy juice bomb. Nice caramel malt to balance the hop flavors.
Overall very tasty! Worth a try if you find it, I'm on the lookout for others in this series.

Pours hazy, gold in color with 1/3 inch head. Taste is big berry--black nd strawberry with grapefruit and husk. Medium bodied, sweet with light bitterness, and medium-high carbonation. Very berry forward for an ipa. One of the better beers I have had from a good brewery. Should have gotten more of this.
