I got a can of this beer from a mixed christmas ipa 12pck that my colleague got me in 2025. It poured a clear golden with thin white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had bitter citrus fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with semi sweet malt base with bitter citrus fruit peel presence. The mouthfeel was fuller in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

 

Note: I am in the process of moving all of my ratings from other beer sites to here, so that all of my ratings are consolidated in one place. The review below is an exact copy of my original RateBeer review from 07/01/2022.


12 oz. can, 9.8% ABV, Canned On: 05/18/2022

AROMA: Moderately sweet with delicious scents of lemon, pine, and grapefruit. The scents are easily detectable without being too "loud" or too "soft". Which is not something that I experience very often.

APPEARANCE: Pours a hazy burnt-orange with a tall, tight, white head that dissipates slowly with good lacing. What can I say, this looks great in a clear, Pilsner glass.

TASTE: I'm first hit with a smooth, somewhat syrupy, sweetness. While it is not overly sweet, it is certainly sweeter than the aroma would suggest. My nose said to expect a little bit of "bite", but I didn't really get any at all. The predominant flavor is orange, followed by subtle flavors of honeydew, and a bit of pine and orange peel on the backend.

MOUTHFEEL: Full-bodied with a thick, smooth texture. Carbonation is average.

OVERALL: This beer goes down super easy ... almost too easy, given it's high ABV! While I prefer beers with a bit more "bite" to them, I actually like this one. I think the only thing that I find a bit off-putting is that the sweetness doesn't taste like it came to the beer naturally, And by that, I mean, it doesn't taste like the sweetness you would get from using fruit (e.g. oranges). It tastes more like sweetness you would get from adding simple syrup. Which makes it seem a little out of place, to me.

Delicious

 

 

Had on tap and 6 pack cans fresh in the Tampa area. Smells like tangerine and candied fruit. The draft taste is candied fruit, the canned taste is tangerine and carbonated. I usually do not seek out Hazy IPAs. Enjoyed them both, the ABV is dangerously hidden and I will look for this again next time I am in the area.

On tap restaurant St Pete May 2023

Best beer I have ever encountered.

A great DIPA, not sure why its advertised as a "hazy" on the six pack and can. I bought this Florida beer fresh...less than a month old. It's a full body beer with a wonderful malty flavor and stands up among the better DIPA'S in the marketplace.

On tap at Rock & Brews Orlando.
Opaque hazy orange.
Nice head with average lacing;
Good nose with tangerine and malt.
Taste is sweet malt with a hint of fruity citrus.
Mouthfeel is nice and smooth with great carbonation.
Overall a very nice Imperial IPA.

3/7/2023 - Opaque hazy orange. The color of the can is a good indicator of the color of the brew. Nice head with good retention, lacing; Flavor is rich and with a hint of fruity citrus; Mouthfeel is smooth, medium carbonation; Good first impression.

Look: Medium orange and cloudy with a zesty off-white head that billows up and slowly settles to a pillow, leaving good lacing behind as it does
Aroma: Ripe nectarines, peach, mandarin orange, passionfruit, papaya, pineapple, cantaloupe melon, and sweet bready malt
Taste: A puree of overripe nectarines, peaches, and cantaloupe come together for the initial hit and linger as layers of citrus fruit trickle in to join. Tropical fruit holds the spotlight in the middle before nectarines, peaches, and melon return for the close
Mouthfeel: Full, soft, medium-high carbonation, and a soft finish with no detectable astringency
Overall: This is good stuff. This brewery was unheard of by me previously but I got this can gifted to me by my dad and it’s made a good initial impression. This hazy DIPA hides its 9.8% well in a slurry of overripe fruit that is tasty but also something I could see taxing my palate quickly so glad to have had only the single can. Well-made and fun to try nonetheless and one of only a few beers I’ve had the chance to try from a Florida brewery

12 oz can, filled on 1/3/23, poured fridge cold into a Wasatch Brewery can glass.
Brilliant pour, all orange & gold! More head than you dream of on a Saturday night.,
Aroma of grapefruit zest, orange, dankity pine.
Mouth full! Grooves of citrus and guava and earth, not sweet, given its ABV punch.
Thick and chewy, stands up to many a Triple IPA I’ve had.
Overall, check check check., want a two-can get along? Here tis.,. getcha pull of this beast!

Great flavor, smooth mouth feel. Fantastic grapefruit nose

Hazy citrus beer. Easy drinking but be responsible high alcohol content
