This hazy IPA is a juicy tropical paradise in a glass, with an opaque appearance and a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. The aroma is dominated by notes of guava, pineapple, and passionfruit, with a subtle sweetness and a citrusy hop finish. The tropical fruit explosion on the palate is perfectly balanced by a moderate bitterness, making for a refreshing and easy-to-drink beer.

Canned 1/13/26. Poured at 50 degrees.

Look: Hazy darker urine with a high white head that has acceptable retention. Some mild lacing is left behind.
Smell: Good, gentle array of sweeter fruits combined with bitter citrus, hops, and even a little pine.
Taste: Some hoppy bitterness does come through, but this is more a sweet, sappy, borderline medicinal brew. A faint presence of malt is also detectable.
Feel: Quite nice. Full in the mouth but softly carbonated.
Overall: Decent enough, but far from becoming one of favorites. Just too sweet unfortunately. I probably would not recommend this brew.

Had this at one of the Drake's locations. First time at this one in February 2023. Went ahead and had this halfway through the experience. I didn't add the beer to this Next Glass database, but I am the first one to review it about 8 months later. Traffic down bad.

Pours more like a hazy ipa despite the lack of this beer being added to this Next Glass database under that style subgenre. Its yellow in color and lacks clarity, 1/4" white head, eh retention. Aroma slightly better, light guava touch, pineapple nod to the Galaxy hop. There are like 4-5 different hops, but they aren't here in the financially questionable quantity or anything.

The taste keeps going the same way, a little bit of orange and grapefruit citrus kick to it. Otherwise, middle of the road hazy ipa, not a lot of flaked wheat and oats, but enough to fit in style. Does a good job in terms of minimizing the bitterness and alcohol. The night time is the right time. Man they had a DJ there and it was loud. Its enjoyable enough to drink but pretty much middle of the road in terms of quality hazy ipa.
