16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, khaki-colored head of foam. It left sudsy lacing. It smelled of guava, peach, orange, caramel and piney notes. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a sharp, piney bitterness.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy, pale yellow pour, thin silky white head. Grapefruit aroma with a touch of pineapple. Taste is citrusy, zesty. Grapefruit, pineapple. Really easy to drink.

Very citrusy ala blood orange but strangely seems a bit oxidized. Packaged on 06/30/24 per Tavour. Let’s go DJT !!

It's OK. Great bouquet. Thin on malt and mouthfeel. Citrus, lemon. A little boozy tasting like lemoncello. Doesn't have that pureé body and merengue tight head like world class NEIPA's doesn't have that smooth malt backbone with tropical pungent hops that ride on top it. But it's a decent NEIPA that holds its own.

SUPER hazy light golden color. Taste is citrus, melon, some yeast/lemon, moderate bitterness. Excellent beer.

The smell made my mouth water. Pours very light and cloudy. Outstanding mouthfeel and refreshing to drink. A great surprise at 8%. Plenty of citrus and hint of sour. The whole experience was beautiful.

16 fl oz. can, no date. A new one to me from Mikerphone, acquired a dented can as part of a mixed six pack at the local Binny's. Their loss is my gain. "Double Dry Hopped Double India Pale Ale" as to be expected from these guys. Purveyors of the Hazy IPA.
Poured to Central Waters stemware.
A: Juicy orange. Finger of white head. Good spotty lacing.
S: Hugely juicy, fruity tropical. Pureed mango, pineapple, guava.
T: Ridiculously sugary, syrupy, sweet. Like drinking literal hop juice, if it was made by Goya.
F: Thick, sweet, sticky, sugary. Medium-full. Fairly easy-drinking for the high abv.
Overall, over rated.
