Poured from 16oz can into a dimpled mug. I don’t see a date on the can.
Appearance: murky pale-yellow hue that is dim enough to seem even a little grey. Head is two fingers of frothy ivory foam.
Smell: rather sweet, but with a good dose of citrusy, tropical hops. The hop aroma isn’t overwhelming, but it’s well-composed and enticing. Quite good!
Taste: like the aroma, this beer has a darn sweet taste to it. But it works with the orange, mango, and maybe even a little grapefruit type hop flavors. There’s bitterness here, but puh-lenty of sweetness to counteract it.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a good carbonation and a nice, smooth creaminess.
Overall: this beer is nice; it’s kind of dessert-ey for an IPA. I mean, it’s not in milkshake IPA territory, but it’s definitely trending in that direction. I’m quite enjoying it.

I hate when breweries don't date stamp their cans... but going off their instagram, this is about exactly 4 weeks old, and it tastes fresh.
Totally cloudy yellow body, so hazy light barely makes it through. White head with nice lacing. Looks nice. Nose is dank, melon, pineapple. Taste is guava lemon dank juicy, and the mouthfeel is medium full and pillowy soft. This is a "buy again"

No freshness date. Poured into a BA 25th Ann teku — hell yeah!!
A: Hazy nectar-like gold with 1-2 finger white frothy head with decent retention and copious lacing.
S: Moderate-high intensity with pineapple, passion fruit, orange, and melon. Esters moderate and fruity-floral.

M: Feel is good for the style with medium body and slightly chalky finish.
O: The Way in Total Daylight is an exceptional high-intensity NEIPA - very impressed.

16 ounce can into a tulip snifter. Canned 7/12/21, had 8/10/21.
Pours a bright, hazy orange yellow, with a one and a half inch foamy head with great retention and a good amount of foamy lacing. Aromas of orange, pineapple, light lemon. Smells earthy and grassy, a little dank, with a light sweet aroma. Flavors of pineapple, grapefruit, some orange, malt. A little earthy and dank, with a smattering of hop bitterness. Smooth, somewhat refreshing, a very good lighter body, well carbonated.
Solid from top to bottom. Lots of tropical citrus, enough bite from from the earthy and dank hops to balance the sweetness. Very enjoyable.
