16 oz. can into IPA glass. Dated 5/16/18.
Beautiful golden milkshake look. Light tropical sweet lemon smell. Strange taste, light lemony, biscuit, with little hop bitterness. Feel is medium creamy. Overall not one of their best. I'll call this strange fruit. Interesting taste.

Hazy straw color with a huge white head produces aromas of sweet cantaloupe and slick, juicy guava alongside lightly bittering hops. Really promising and unique, but the relatively thin mouthfeel effects the delivery of what was a great bit of flavor. This has so many elements of a great IPA, but it's faults hold it back just a bit too much to hit that level. A good one, but it just didn't come together as much as it could have.
