Canned on 5/10/2016. Body has a decent amount of haze to it with a few yeast clumps suspended in solution. The color is a bright, golden honey orange with good carbonation streaming up and a thick white head. The aroma is very sweet and tropical, lots of papaya, candied orange, overripe mango, peach puree, honey, sweet cantaloupe, and some strong floral notes. The mouth feel is medium with a creamy consistency and an overall juiciness. The taste has more of those sweet tropical fruit with the addition of some mild bitterness; mango, peaches, ruby grapefruit, some bitter pine, fresh grass, papaya, dried apricots, and fresh picked peaches. Glad to be able to find cans of their stuff from time to time, unfortunately they usually come with a 1 can limit and a $5 price tag.

Hazy golden orange brew with a smooth white head. Really have to bury your nose in the glass and pull a strong smell to get a decent sniff, which gives mild aroma of citrus and light bread. Thankfully the taste is much fuller than the smell, with nice notes of citrus and pine with some moderate, but not overpowering, bitterness. Was hoping the hallertau hops might provide a unique profile, but any flavor added is overpowered by the familiar mosiac and citra notes. Can definitely feel some heat from the alcohol, but the brew is decidedly tasty and goes down easy. An excellent beer in a crowded style.

Can poured into snifter. Pours an hazy orange/yellow with a small white head. Nice bitter hoppy taste, can't really pick up too much else, but this is a solid brew.

16 oz can. Pours hazy orange, thick white foamy head, great retention, tons of lace. Aroma is citrusy with a little ripe tropical fruit, bread. Similar taste, ripe tropical fruit, citrus, sweet malt. Earthy piney hops, nice bitter finish. Medium slick feel. Tasty DIPA.

Microbrew sample. A hazy, Northeast Double IPA. Fruity but with plenty of accompanying sweetness. These are starting to become the norm so after a while they all start looking, tasting, and smelling the same. Hence I am left with a consistent feeling about these beers. Usually quite good. They become increasingly harder to be impressed by. High floor.
