16oz can. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled of citrus, pineapple, grapefruit and subtle pine. Sweet tropical fruitiness with toasted caramel and a sharp, piney bite.

16oz can into a pint glass. Canned a mere 2 weeks ago, so super fresh.
Hazy? No, let's call it what it is. Solid non citrus fruit juice color. Nice small white head diminishes to a ring and faint covering. There is a little lacing.
Nice aroma of non citrus fruit.
This is a good tasting low abv DIPA. Fruity, a nice bitterness toward the end.
Mouth close to full, finish bittersweet.
Overall, a very nice drink, though more of a NE IPA than a DIPA. Happy to have another 3 in reserve.

Was a lot fuller mouthfeel than the appearance let on. The sweetness and bitterness was balanced perfectly for my taste preference. The nose kept me wanting another sip.

Ale poured a bright gold with ample head. This was close to two months old but aroma was still citrus, maybe slightly muted. Wonderful citrus flavor new england style with very smooth finish, No alcohol in flavor. Excellent, another winner from our home town brewery.

Thanks Drew.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a nice hazy burnt orange to copper color with a small white foamy stifled head. Just some wispy light filmy lace glossed the sides of the glass.
The aroma had a cool chill-like piney needle sweet to bitter quality rolling into some peachy to soft melon.
The flavor leaned towards a soft sweetness of melon, needle-like piney softness delving into peach flesh and skin. Super subtle hardness but enriching a nice dry and semi-crisp aftertaste of peach and pine nuts.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied, perhaps a bit closer to full with a fair sipping quality about it. Carbonation felt nice and low key for a New England styled IPA. ABV felt good. Finish was semi-crisp with a piney bittersweet to peachy character strolling all around.
Overall, a very nice New England styled DIPA, well worthy of having again. As a fan of the band "Need To Breathe" I was listening to "Girl Named Tennessee" most of the time while I consumed this beer. Sorry, that really has nothing to do with my rating of this beer other than this is my first Bearded Iris beer and they're from Tennessee.

Canned 10.16.18, opened 11.10.18
“What’s Bibco?”
Translucent golden yellow, pencil thin off white foam layer, receded quickly on the pour
Aroma is melon, passion fruit, whiff of peach
Taste is melon with a hint of citrus over a malty base
Suds up in the mouth, low bitterness, hop taste lingers slightly and doesn’t bite
Good beer

This is fine, not really sure what the style theyre going for here is. When they can make solid hazy NEIPAs, then produce mid tier stuff like this, it confuses me. This is basically homestyle with different hops, low bitterness, low ish malt IPA with dry hopping. Well short of their best

Pours slightly hazy from a 16oz can with a moderate 1 finger head. Rich golden in color, with a slight pretty pinkish orange tint, indicative on the flavors to come.
Passion fruit and melon on the nose. Very vibrant tropical citrus.
Primary tasting notes in ripe melon, mango, and heavy passion fruit. Very pleasant and refreshing with well hidden bitterness and alcohol.
