Received a care package from the generous @jzeilinger on 10-16-25. No canning date but appears to be around 9-12-25 per Untappd entries. Consuming on 11-15-25. Cold stored since receiving.

Beer poured chilled gold with a nice white head that is leaving splotchy lacing behind.

Nose is dominated by fresh citrus hops with floral hops being secondary.

Taste is spot on as the larger pale malt base allows the orange flavored hops to shine. Getting a light touch of mango and strawberry in post sip aspirations. Finishes with a nice touch of pine to balance and give an extra kiss of bitterness; 6/10 on my scale.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied and smooth.

Overall, wow what a tasty west coast leaning brew. Great use of hops, so flavorful yet clean in the finish. Thanks J!

Can dated 4/7/23 into clear plastic cup (I'm on the road...). Pours a hazy light gold color, with a nice off-white head. Decent lacing, even on plastic. Initial impression is orange, tropical fruits, citrus, pineapple, and a hint of pine. Fairly sweet, but not cloying. Mouthfeel is soft and smooth. Finish fades to sweet orange. Overall, a pretty good hazy DIA.
