Poured out of a 16 oz. can from the brewery. In collaboration with The Answer out of Virginia. Brewed with Citra and Amarillo.
Pours a very hazy deep gold color with not even a finger of fluffy white head.
Aroma is full of juicy, overly-ripe peach, mango, and orange. Clementine, candied grapefruit, juicy pineapple, and herbaceous dankness are also there in smaller amounts. A nice candied sweetness is there is round it all out and add to the juicy quality of the aroma.
Taste follows nicely, with juicy peach, mango, and tangerine/clementine notes there throughout. Pick up on a lot of sweeter, less bitter grapefruit up front, which then fades into more bitter grapefruit peel on the finish. A very slight "green" herbaceous dankness is there in the background. Slight juicyfruit yeast esters are there too. A candied sweetness and slight doughy bread are there to balance it all out. Not much bitterness.
High medium body. Creamy, smooth, and soft.
18th is really starting to dial in these hazy IPA's. Getting some help from The Answer certainly doesn't hurt either. Really good stuff.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a 1 pint can on July 24, 2017. Brewed in collaboration with The Answer. Hazy double dry hopped juice bomb. This looks, smells and feels right, but it is a little too sweet for my palate.

Look is hazy and murky burnt grapefruit juice. Pours nicely with bright white head.
Aroma is dank sweet grapefruit.
Taste follows nose. Big dank hit, and sweet grapefruit.
Feel is on point. Smooth, creamy and almost no bitterness.
Overall this is another solid NE style OPS put out by 18th st. I think they have the NE style figured out. Look out...

Tall can, canned and released few days ago
Pours heavily clouded, dull brown, ample delicate light khaki in color and leaving moderate amounts of fine lace.
Sweet nose with honey on the nose.
Tasty brew with again honey and also ripe fruit.
Fine brew in a can - go get some to support this newer and high potential brewer
