Canned on 2/23/21; consumed on 3/24/21

Pours a nearly turbid, dark sunflower-orange body topped with a finger of creamy, fluffy, eggshell-white foam; good head retention leaves a few paper-thin, spotty islands of cap, a thin, though rich collar, and a generous spread of webby/spotty lacing coating the walls of the glass.

Aromas start off with peach fuzz, wet moss, and white grape vine for an initial earthiness nodding toward a burgeoning array of fruits; a touch of lime sherbet bursts forth into a mango middle with distant coconut, developing creamy tones over time as clementine and papaya close the bouquet.

Taste shows boggy impressions of tangerine cocktail upfront, accented with mild grassy characteristics leading into oily resins meeting fresh clementine and guava into the mid-palate; a touch of underripe pineapple is steady into back end, where mango, apricot zest, and bits of creamy, tropical hop essence finish.

Mouthfeel offers a medium body and moderate carbonation, clean and without edges upfront before steadily developing pillowy, resinous textures into the mid-palate; vaguely bitter though increasingly creamy at its peak, the back end is slightly slick, with an even milder hoppy twang through the swallow.

A focused profile entrenched in waves of creamy, tropical hop saturation, the final product does largely lack distinction despite being thoroughly enjoyable and an overall rounded take on the style.

 

"2/23/21" dated tall can.

Top notch look to this nectar...heavily hazed/juiced, fine and frothy cap, leaves all sorts of stickage.

Over the top fragrant tropical fruit infused sniff...delish

Full on smooth and thick mouthfeel, milkshakesque.

The nose barges onto the palate sensations, pineapple, coconut custard, assorted other ripe tropical notes all over this one.

Boom...OH throws down...world class...at least...run and go get some...

 

 

 

Great can followed by a great beer experience. Hazy orange and full flavored IPA. Run, don’t walk. Dreamiest indeed!

 

Look: Murky dark orange with fluffy white head.
Smell: Acorn squash and piney.
Taste: Nice bitter hops, pumpkin pie and resiny pine.
Feel: Smooth and well carbonated, somewhat syrupy.
Overall: A pretty good IPA, lots of flavor.

Smell, taste and color were all fantastic but what set it off for me was the creamy lusciousness of the mouthfeel.

 

 

Soft and creamy hazy IPA, notes of mango and citrus that are fresh and pop nicely; dry finish that makes this IPA as a whole an easy and quick to finish beer

Pours a hazy golden color with a fresh white head. Smell is very fruity with berries and citrus. Taste has notes of oranges pineapple,stone fruits and mango. Moof feel is juicy and dank with crisp hops and medium carbonation. Low on sweetness and has some dryness in finish.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on December 16, 2020.

 

Pours hazy orange. 1 finger white head.
Smells of rind and orange juice. Also has a dirty stinky feet quality when you put your nose in - dankish.
Taste comes through very orange juice after you brush your teeth. Kind of bitter and tart. Very juicy in that orange juice way. Some pineapple starts to shine as I drink into it. Really tasty. Finish is somewhat dry.
Keep going back for more. I like this more and more as the sips add up

 

 

 

 

 

Can at home, Sept 2020. Pretty good. A touch harsh on the finish, yeast bite?

 

From a 4-day-old can, pours a nice, hazy orange. Big white head, thick lacing. Smell shows a complex array of hoppy fruitiness, along with some earthy dank. Taste is stellar, with all the fruits. Fantastic smooth feel. One of the best beers I've had in a while.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not 100% sure, but can stamp looks to be 02/18/2020... released on February 23rd.

Pours an opaque golden yellow, with soft thin head that forms a head of foam about half a finger high. As it settles, weak patterns of lace cling to the inside of the glass.

The formidable combination of Mosaic, Citra, and Galaxy on this one really creates an incredible aromatic profile. Notes of mango nectar, candied grapefruit, overripe pineapple, and sweet tangerine are just a few of the fruits I could pinpoint from this richly sweet, mildly hoppy nose. There's a touch of underlying malt and freshly cut grass to round it out.

Contrasting nicely from the nose, the hops really become more prominent on the palate. Featuring the more bitter, potent side of the grapefruit, further notes of floral hops, lime juice, lychee, grass, and pine stand out as well. Subtly complex, and as mentioned, a really nice contrast to the powerfully fruit-forward characteristics on the nose.

Medium-bodied, with a soft, seltzery carbonation and a subtle mouth-coating left in it's wake. No noticeable boozy warmth as it goes down, and its worth noting that this is an absolute crusher for 7.8% ABV.
