No date on can, into a pint glass.
Pours a thick murky orange with some decent foam. Aroma is sweet orange and grapefruit with a little dankness. Flavor is similar, but quite sweet. There's some Hawaiian punch as well and a lot of tropical fruit with very little bitterness. Feel is super creamy and thick, higher body and super sticky.
Overall tasty and quite sweet, but interesting.

can (canned 4/22/21) to snifter.
LOOK: medium hazy, light yellow color, foamy off white head--very large at first and stiff--then fades a bit but stays a medium level, excellent retention.
AROMA: light citrus, palm leaves, grass, sea breeze, light and refreshing.
TASTE: grapefruit, grass, some light grassy bitterness and sharp citrus, but mostly empty. A little soap in the finish.
FEEL: light body, very good carbonation, slight sharpness/astringency.
OK. not the juicy beast I've had with some other Adroit Theories.

$ 7.97 (Including shipping and PA tax)/16 oz can ($ 0.498/oz) from Tavour, Seattle, WA. Reviewed 8/29/19.
“Canned 7/03/19” clearly stamped on bottom of can. Ghost 758. Stored at 42 degrees and served at 50 degrees (per label instructions) in a hand-washed and dried Jester King snifter.
Appearance – 4.
First pour – Light yellow, hazy.
Body – Light yellow, murky.
Head – Large (Maximum 5.7 cm, aggressive center pour), white, high density and creamy, average duration, diminishing to an irregular five to seventeen mm crown and a thick partial cap. Many small islands of lacing remain as the head retracts.
Lacing – Good. Irregular rings of tiny bubbles, with a few holes and some tiny stalactites.
Aroma – 4.25 – Citrus, mostly lemon.
Flavor – 4.25 - Begins moderately bitter with a chalky lemon taste which has a long hangtime. No alcohol (8.2% ABV) flavor or aroma, no dimethylsulfide, no diacetyl.
Palate – 3.5 – Medium, watery, lively carbonation.
Final impression and summation: 4.25. Good take on the Imperial IPA

Very citrusy smell and taste. Light on the bitterness, but for what this beer seems to be going for it feels right. The yeast comes through on the backend and rounds it all out. Overall, a solid NE IPA. Very drinkable.

Growler into pint glass. Pours a bright, cloudy, yellow-amber-straw with a thin off-white head. Initial impression is a very juicy citrus bomb with a surprising amount of heft. Grapefruit, mango, and lemon are evident. Mouthfeel is medium; carbonation is just enough to emphasize the citrus. Finish is slightly bitter, but refrreshingly so. Overall, quite enjoyable but not world class.
