Had this for the first time at the BIstro's 22nd annual ipa festival held on April 13, 2019. Then went to Berkeley Bowl the next day and purchased a can.
Pours yellow. Not an overwhelming amount of haze. 1/3" white head. Aroma hits the blend of Amarillo, Citra and something else notes running the gamut of tropical and citrus juiciness. Given the slight dankness, always guess Mosaic, although a smidge of Nelson could be possible too.
Taste seems to have a hearty amount of bittering hops, Simcoe, its got that sizeable bitterness for a hazy. This is coming off like a hybrid west coast and slightly hazy ipa, but leaning more west coast since the lack of clarity and proprietary hops to a lesser degree are the only things not in the west coast vein. But its malt body seems all barley, no oats or wheat to this one methinks. Slight hint of alcohol, this one is straddling the imperial ipa line at 7.5%.
Good stuff, but only bought one can the next day, not a four pack. Did buy a four pack of Do You Even Amarillo Bro passing by the brewery though.

Golden with a moderate haze, lots of carbonation and a finger of white head.
Smells of dank green leaf, candy fruitiness, mango, what and I imagine some weed would smell like.
Tastes of the same dank green leaf, weed, mango and tropical fruit.
Medium body with moderate carbonation.
I got this in Redding today where I am drinking it, April 13th, 2019. Excellent dank brew.

Canned last week
Appearance - Pours slightly hazy and orange in color with an off-white, two-finger width head. Fair retention, resulting in a thin, broken layer of suds, thickening up into a ring on the edge of the glass. Amazing amount of lacing covers the glass in thick sheets and small spots where the sheeting breaks up.
Smell - Citrusy and tropical aroma. Tangerine, pineapple, lesser grapefruit. Hint of pine and spice.
Taste - Mmm. Citrusy with a touch of caramel / buttered toffee upfront before tropical notes of pineapple, guava, melon and then distant pine creep in near the finish. Despite the depth of flavor, it's surprisingly fleeting, as the finish comes quicker than expected, then a quickly fading aftertaste of all the aforementioned characteristics.
Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with fair carbonation. Slick, easy drinker with a slightly dry finish.
Overall - Tasty IPA, though it fades quicker than you'd like. Maybe I'd buy an occasional can, if only because the number of great beers continues to grow at a near exponential rate.

Canned 2/20/18, consumed 3/10/18
Poured clear with a very slight blur, gold color with a big head, low retention, and a small amount of lacing.
Aroma is full, super bright tropical fruits with just a small bit of pine and danky hops in the end to fill it out.
Taste follows aroma, great balance of tropical fruits, pine, dank, just everything these great hops bring.
Mouthfeel is medium, good but not dominant bitterness, great carbonation.
Overall, a balanced, well-crafted IPA, one of the best I've had so far from New Glory.

Can into tulip. Bright golden bronze, 2 fingers low density head with limited retention. Quite tropical and floral nose, lots of pineapple, passion fruit, subtle pine as it warms. Follows nose well, limited bitterness and astringency, some faint acidity. Medium bodied with medium-high carbonation, slightly slick on the tongue.
Solid IPA accentuating newer hop profiles in more traditional IPA approach.
