Poured from 12oz can into my BeerAdvocate teku. Packaged 2/24/20.

Appearance: good orange hue with plenty of murky haze and a thick finger of frothy ivory foam. Looks good to me!

Smell: orange peel with a light element of tropical fruit and a bit of underlying sweetness. Not too bad.

Taste: more of an "orange peel" character than the "orange juice" of a classic hazy IPA. Not a lot of complexity, but it's not bad; perhaps age has dulled it a little bit. There's definitely some bitterness here, too, more than I normally associate with a juicy IPA; it works, though.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a good level of carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: this may not be the best juicy IPA I've ever had, but I like it well enough.

12oz can poured in to a nonic glass. Pkgd on 01/18/2020.

Look- Hazy golden amber color, solid off-white head with good retention and lacing. heavy carbonation streaming as it sits.

Smell- Bright citrus, under ripe pineapple and mango, some peach and a bit of melon, faint pine,, honey and bready malt, other spicy/herbal notes.

Taste- As the nose eludes to with a mineral and hoppy/herbaceous back end.

Feel- Medium/light bodied, very crisp and somewhat dry with a lingering bitter finish, a little off balance. Heavy carbonation on the tongue.

O- A decent offering from these guys. If you can find it on sale as I did it's worth a shot, otherwise there are better offerings for the money.
