16 ounce can in a pint glass. Drank in August while relaxing poolside, shared with a pretty lady, from a can that I picked up in VT in August 2018.
Ruby red grapefruit look. 1F white cap, spot and ring lacing.
The aroma is mostly fresh ripe peaches.
Peach and grapefruit lead the flavor profile, raspberry in the back end.
Malt backbone, fruit, mild lingering hop tang. Dry fruit funk.
Good stuff, great share. Thankfully, the raspberry was subtle.

16 oz can from brutalfarce. Poured into ploughshare wide mouthed glass.
Very muddy, pinkish-orangish color with a thin fleeting bubbly head of 1/2 finger.
Aroma is sweaty and of apricots, settling in to more of a juicy peach aroma once the beer settles down after swirling. Slight lawn/herb.
Flavor is sweaty and pungent, almost rotten tasting; chock full of lawn clippings, slight juicy orange, orange peel, red grapefruit, lemon peel, cotton, paper, and more herbal. Overall this beer is extremely sweaty and pungent, although I do detect a slight raspberry earthiness.
Feel is a bit too carbonated and sharp, not creamy enough for my personal NE IPA preferences (have I become a NE IPA snob or am I just getting too scientific with the style? God knows it's all science with this style). Out of spec a bit. (I'm just hard and discriminatory of all NE IPA mouthfeels including my versions...you gotta get it right, very few do)
Overall a bit of a miss, I was really expecting a huge apricot/peach/sweet raspberry explosion but instead I get pungent sweaty socks, slight earthy raspberry, and wet paper. I could do with more sweetness, fruit-focus, and thicker creamier mouthfeel.

Actual fruit ipa. Delicious more raspberry than peach but it's in there! Great look and smell! Nice fruity taste with a perfect bite in the back! I love the vision series and i will always try them!

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a blend of an orange to pink sort of color with a small foamy white head that quickly dissipated. Some sliding lace.
The aroma had some sweet to tart red raspberry flowing into some light lemon sweet pulp. Peach was there, but pretty light. Light grassiness.
The flavor was a nice blend of the sweet to the tart of the blend of the raspberry and peach. Aftertaste was the raspberries.
The mouthfeel was between light and medium bodied with more of a sipping quality about it as the tartness seemed to steadily grow as it warmed. It didn't follow through into any sour harshness. Carbonation did feel fine. ABV felt good.
Overall, IPA, fruit beer or sour ale? Not exactly sure, but I did like it; though a bit more peach could have made a difference as to ensure a better balance.

This one pours obviously quite different than your standard run of the mill IPA- as it's a light orange-ish pink, with a small head, and no lacing. This looks like some sort of weird exotic juice.
This smells like slightly tart and slightly tart raspberry, but not quite as loudly as I would've expected, given how the fruit addition just obviously dominated the color. It still does smell like an IPA underneath, but I can't quite tell if it's a GOOD one underneath.
This has a little bit of bitterness underneath the huge fruit blast from the fruit additions, which helps this from being just straight juice and like a fruit beer. As it warms the bitterness disappears a bit, and it starts to feel a bit more tart, and very muddled. This is definitely an interesting concept, but it doesn't exactly feel unified, or carefully constructed.
This is medium bodied, kinda grainy and sweet, with a normal level of carbonation.
This is wacky and interesting, but not necessarily all that good.

Poured from the can into a snifter.
Pours a milkshake of peach with a touch of pink as well. One finger of thick head.
Aromas are a lot of hops and sticky fruit.
Flavor is really nice as well, sweetness from the peach and slight tartness from raspberries mix well with the raspberries.
Mouthfeel is quite nice as well. Thick but not too thick.
Overall, Joe kills it again with fruit. Great beer.
