16 FL. OZ. can
Served in a stemless wine glass
This beer pours a dark orange hue and is turbid. It is topped with an inch of beige head that leaves decent lacing.
I get tropical and citrus fruit in the smell. It has a bit of a sweet aroma. Hints of lime.
The lime comes through in the taste along with the vanilla for added sweetness but not too much. The lime pairs well with the tropical fruit flavors from the hops. Key lime in the finish.
Medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel
This is a pretty good fruited NEIPA. The key lime works well and does not overpower the base IPA.

Payed a lot for a single can. 4.50$(+tax) at a grocery store. It pours a hazy straw color with not much head, good lacing, large chunks of sediment. I can smell the lime mixed with sort of a skunky dank stank. Taste is very smooth/ pleasant, I was expecting something sour when I read key lime but that Madagascar vanilla creates quite a balance. Mouthfeel is a medium carbonation & viscosity. This is a very exceptional brew. Unique in a over-saturated world of IPA's, only downfall is the cost/ availability.
