Growler fill from my visit to the brewery in Miami.

A- Pours a very hazy, cloudy burnt orange. Two finger head with great lacing that sticks around.

S- Big peach, pineapple, orange, grapefruit and light malt in the background. Tropical and citrus greatness.

T- Reflects the nose quite well. Some grapefruit bitterness keeps things from getting too sweet with all of the tropical flavors going on. Nicely balanced.

M- Very smooth and very drinkable.

O- One of the best (if not the best) regular IPA's I've had currently on the market. Wish I could get this where I live. I sampled a number of their beers at the brewery when I visited, and these guys are making some GREAT stuff.

Look: It pours amber and very clear with a white head. Head retention is very good.

Smell: There are some dank notes in the aroma with grapefruit and passionfruit.

Taste: There are grapefruit and passionfruit flavors with a very low grainy sweet base. The flavors from the hops are a bit juicy. There is also a bit of a cracker presence in the finish.

Feel: It has a medium body with a smooth but high bitterness.

Overall, a nice west coast IPA.

Canned 4/6/22. Two fingers of beige mixed bubbles; excellent cap retention; heavy ring; bands of soapy lace sheet the glass from top to bottom; pale amber liquid with excellent clarity. Oranges and bready malt nose. Taste is bitter orange rind followed by grapefruit and lemon; firm malt base; citrus finish. Medium light body; slightly sticky feel; moderate minus carbonation; no astringency; clean finish. Overall the beer drinks like a West Coast style minus the pine and resin; pleasant bitter citrus linger; a great example of an American Southern style IPA. I would like to drink more of this type of IPA.

Drinking to the Legacy and memory of the great E-VH,picked this beer out today for obvious reasons.Pours from the can into an imperial nonic a hazed burnt orange with a large billowing near two finger slight off white head atop,one full ring of lace is left behind.Grass and overripe citrus fruits in the nose,some what sweet aroma-wise.Quite malt driven on the palate,caramel and dough upfront followed by some dank citrus fruits,a nice drying sharp bitterness in the finish wich erases the big early sweetness.A pretty nice well rounded malty ipa,RIP and continue to "hammer on" my man.
