From a can packaged 7/3/23. Cloudy orange color with a finger of foamy white head. Grapefruit aroma. Medium body. Juicy grapefruit flavor with some bitterness and warmth on the finish. Great citrusy DIPA.

I like the can, but honestly I don't understand the name. Maybe it's a generational thing and I'm too old. No matter! The beer is good, and that's what matters most.

Pours a slightly hazy golden apricot color with a sticky, one-inch head. Nice lace. The nose is full of citrus and some pine with maybe a waft of vanilla. Nice, but not overwhelming. The taste is delicious. Bright and perky with a heavy grapefruit front and a smooth hoppy finish. Mouthfeel is full and even.

This is a fine beer here. Martin House has concerned me recently with their tendency to go overboard with the silly flavored beers, but this proves they can still do a damn fine IPA. I'll be grabbing this one off the shelf every time I see it. Cheers.

Heavy hitter. Mango, melon, and some alcohol burn. It’s good

Well it's a clever name and cool can art but I'm not really sure if that correlates to what's in the can. I was expecting something quite dank and malty, but instead got bright and citrusy.

Nevertheless, this is one very nice creation from Martin house. Extremely easy to drink. Ruby red along with some peels is what I get from it.

Glad I've got three more bc they nailed it on this one.
