16oz can (dated JUN2520) poured into 14oz teku. poured a fully murky pale yellow color with over 2 inches of white head that had long-lasting retention and light lacing.
The aroma was the, by now, expected frooty hops of the Murkbomb style, with no supporting grain.
Same on the tongue, muted froot hops, mo malt.
The body was the typical light-medium of the style, but managed somewhat surprisingly dry finish.
Drinkability was OK, if you like the murksters, you'll like this.
Overall, another average-ish murkster.

On tap at Imperial Bottleshoptoday...
The beer pours a slightly hazy golden amber color with great head retention and considerable sticky lacing all around the tulip glass. The aroma profile is not this beers best feature, as I'm getting an odd blend of sauerkraut and tropical fruit. Fortunately, there's none of the sauerkraut flavor on the palate, and mostly getting tropical fruit with some light bitterness on the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied I would say, with the alcohol very well integrated into the flavor profile.
A decent ipa from the folks at Bale Breaker, but this style doesn't seem to be in their wheelhouse. They seem to do a much better job with West Coast style IPA's.

Clarity Rarity #2 is a golden yellow, with a fluffy white head and some lacing.
The smell is fruity citrus, with some other (peach? apricot?).
The taste is fruity. It's not as full on citrus as some beers. There's mild bitterness, not as much as a traditional West Coast IPA, but enough to let you know it is an IPA, not some milk shake impostor.
It's a solid beer, one I would be happy to have again, even though I'm generally averse to New England IPAs.

16oz can (canned 6/25/2020) into a tulip. Pours a hazy yellow w/ a big sudsy head with nice clean white lacing.
Aroma is a big punch of tropical citrus. Grapefruit, pineapple, maybe some peach nectar.
Taste follows nose. Nice bright alpha acidity, citrus juice, and a pleasant clean bitterness on the finish.
Mouthfeel is clean and crisp, light on the palate, very drinkable.
Overall another very good beer from Bale Breaker. When I bought it, based on the name I was hoping this was not another hazy IPA (though I noticed later it says it is right on the can), but more of a jab at this trend. Nevertheless, it's a tasty brew.
