This full grown IPA has bright nots of papaya and citrus rind which lead to a pillowy soft tropical experience reminiscent of a blend of freshly squeezed pineapple and grapefruit juice. A real showcase for how versatile modern hops can be.

Poured into a 16 oz snifter canned on my anniversary 10/13/21. Pours a very attractive milky yellow with a solid finger sticky white head that leaves thin streaks of lace, with nice retention. 4.5

Aroma cantaloupe, peach, mango, pineapple, and apricot. 4

Taste follows cantaloupe, peach, mango, pineapple, and apricot pretty well balanced. 4

Mouthfeel is a little above average, not sticky or dry, soft gentle carbonation, and at 10.2% you get a little hint of alcohol, but it still goes down rather easy. 4.5

Overall this is unique and pretty darn solid for me. Thanks jzeilinger for this can. 4

Canned on 10-19-21.

A - Medium opaque golden tan color with dense white, thin lacing. Carbonation is very light with a few bubbles hanging around the sides of the glass.

S - Pineapple and citrus hit the nose.

T - Pineapple, citrus, lemon, lemon rind and all with some resin and peppery spice.

M - Thick body with some drying on the back of the tongue.

O - This one was a let down.
