12oz can from Keg Liquors. Pale golden pour with a soft white head, mild haze. Faint fruity aroma. Taste is weak citrusy flavors, pink grapefruit, with a minor zesty bite. Not overwhelming in the least

Can packaged on 11/22/20. Consumed on Christmas Eve, the same year of our Lord.
Poured into a snifter and its a beauty. Loads of lacing and great head retention. As the beer is consumed, the lace sticks to the side of the glass, leaving rings of delicousness.
Aroma is damn good. Plenty of fresh hops in there. I dont get a whole lot of mango and pineapple but certainly more mango. Fruity and pungent.
I bought a case of this at the brewery for $20. A total steal. Delicious flavor. Perhaps a little light on the body but I LOVE dry IPA. Forget that cloying nastiness. Crisp, clean, and efficient. Tropical flavors with the perfect balance of bitterness.
This is a solid beer, I'm telling you. It checks off all of the marks of a solid IPA: bitter, clean, aromatic. You cant go wring with this one. Top of the line? No. But serviceable any day of the week.

12 oz. Can
PACKAGED: 10/26/18
Poured into a tulip a pretty nice hazy yellow color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger off-white head, which also leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a nice little citrus complex (orange, tangerine, mango, pineapple), piney. The taste is pretty nice, hoppy, malty, with a nice little citrus complex (orange, tangerine, mango, pineapple), piney. Medium body, ABV is hidden pretty nicely, with a nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, a tasty brew. Thanks Russ!
