No freshness info, not very common these days. Can says 8.2% abv. Lots of citrus and tropical fruit as expected from the citra and mosaic hops. The finish was moderately bitter and surprisingly resinous.

Tried Microburst on draft at the brewery and was sufficiently impressed that I bought a 4-pack before leaving. The canned product was equally impressive. As a big fan of Mosaic and Citra hops, I found the mix of these hops with whatever" premium malt" the brewer used plus an 8.2% ABV resulted in a product highly pleasing to my particular taste preferences. I can definitely say that my first 4-pack of Micro.burst will not be my last one.

More of a DIPA. ABV on can at 8.20. Very good. Tropical front note then nice grapefruit backend. Will buy again.

Dark for an IPA, almost copper. Bright with a slight haze and a very strong aroma of grapefruit, melon, and citrus. Drinks easy with a light sweetness balanced by a slight bitterness. Assertive hop presence, crisp, drinkable, fruity as all hell. Excellent for the style, would drink again.
