Poured from a 16oz can into a shaker pint

Look: Murky orange juice with a white head.

Smell: Grapefruit, guava, passion fruit, mango, and a green grassy note.

Taste: Much like the nose. Rich mango and grapefruit rind on the attack. Stinky guava and passion fruit through the middle and a finish of bitter grass and more grapefruit.

Feel: Rich and creamy. Alcohol is there with a notable boozy note. Medium bitterness. Smooth.

Overall: A very good NEIPA. Probably the best I have had coming out of VA. Good stuff!

16 oz can dated April 2019 poured into a rambler glass. Big foamy head that faded fast. Very bright yellow in color.
Smells of tropical fruit. Mango, lychee, pineaplle are prominent with some stone fruit as well. Taste follows the nose, Very tropical fruit forward. Mango, pineapple, lychee again with some peach notes as well.
Mouthfeel is creamy, juicy and very smooth. Mild bitterness that lingers.
Overall a great showing of galaxy hops. Commonwealth has been making so fantastic ipas as of late.

L: Poured from a tallboy can to a snifter glass. Had a bright yellow color and a cloudy consistency. There was a half inch of foamy head that lasted an average amount of time. Very good lacing.

S: A very nice aroma of hops, citrus fruit, malt, stone fruit, and tropical fruit.

T: Tasted of a decent bit of citrus fruit (orange, lemon), some tropical fruit (guava?, a good shot of hops (not overdone, though), and light malt notes (mostly in the finish). A solid flavor that gets better as you go along. It's a hop-forward beer, but not obnoxiously so; the fruit elements offer some solid support. Tasty stuff.

F: A well-carbonated beer with a sharp finish. Medium-bodied.

O: A super solid, well made DIPA. Worth a try.

Out of the can, one of the better small batch offerings I have had from commonwealth, and also one of the better showcases I have had of the galaxy hop
