Pours looking like foamy pineapple juice, cloudy dark yellow with a white head.

The smell is mainly tropical fruits with a bit if bready malt. A bit of resin and some floral aromas.

The flavor seems weak overall. Caramel flavor that shows as sweet. Tropical fruit with a ltitle resinous hops flavor, minimally bitter.

Maybe the eyes set the expectation that this beer should have more body than it does, but it drinks thin and the flavors do not finish well.

Not a great example of a cloudy IPA in my opinion. It's OK but not in the upper tier.

 

 

 

 

 

Can shared by Darrell. Thanks man. A beautiful day to grill and drink outside.

Yellow body, really hazy, long lasting white head. Melons, oranges, fresh hops. Light to medium body. Good stuff.

A mostly hazy yellow orange with a dense, white head with good retention and lacing, this looks OK. The nose is a little muddled. Fruity, pulpy, there's peach, nectarine and citrus present, along with a little pine. Malt character is minimal, but there is some light grain character present. The palate opens...muddled. Having some of the characteristics of hazy IPAs - a lack of definition and focus, a moderate amount of fruit, but thankfully, no gritty and chalky flavors. Moderately fruity, medium light in body, there's not a whole lot here. OK

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours milky, very hazy orange-yellow amber with a two finger white head with good retention and lacing. Almost looks like unfilitered, mixed coconut and pineapple juice. Aroma of citrus and light tropical fruit hops, pale bready malt, mixed fruit with no real stand out individual fruit components; vaguely citrus and tropical. Flavor is light caramel malt, citrus and tropical fruit hops with a little pine, a nice fruit puree with a great blend of tropical, light stone and none-tart citrus fruit. Finishes with great rich mixed fruit, almost like a fruit reduction and lingering piney and citrus hops. Medium body with good creaminess and mouth feel. This might be my favorite of the series so far. Although quite fruity, it's not sweet nor tart and a complex mixed fruit profile. The hops are not intense, but with a fine mix of pine, citrus and tropical fruit. Another of the uncommon hazy IPAs that was as interesting on the last sip as the first. Well done. Extra points for the unusually hazy look of this one.
