L: Poured from a tallboy can to a pint glass. Had a dark, dirty orange color and a super cloudy consistency. There was a 3/4", foamy, long-lasting head. Fantastic lacing.
S: A very nice aroma of hops, citrus fruit, a floral quality, malt, and tropical fruit.
T: Tasted of a bit of the floral quality (not a massive component), some light malt notes (mostly in the finish), a good shot of hops (not overdone, though), some citrus fruit (orange, in particular), and a little tropical fruit (mango). A focused and well done flavor. It definitely leans toward the fruity side, but this isn't a bad thing. Pretty tasty.
F: A well-carbonated beer with a smooth, creamy finish. Medium-bodied.
O: A solidly made DIPA. Drinkable.

Can dated 6/11/18! This is an awesome hazy/murky ipa! For being over a month old it’s still hoppy/juicy and dank! I wil be trying more of their beers for sure!

From a fresh can, pours a totally hazy dark orange. Good carbonation. Smell is dominated by peaches, followed by tropical fruits, citrus and some resinous dank. Taste gets all that in there. Feel is smooth and slightly rich. Top notch hazy IPA.

16 oz can from the release a couple weeks ago
Hops: Hallertau Blanc
Not too familiar with this hop, but this beer was incredible. Loads of tropical fruit. The best Commonwealth offering I've had to date.

Absolutely phenomenal. Feels like I'm drinking trillium/tree house quality. Same huge fruit notes with a little bubble gummy back end.
Would 100% buy again

Bought at the Corks and Kegs Store west end of Richmond, Virginia on 7/10/18. 4 pack of 16oz cans was $17+tax w/date on the bottom of the cans! Beautiful aroma from the the hop (Hallertau Blanc). Smooth and creamy with just a little bitterness up front! Another one hop series Winner from Commonwealth Brewery!! Thanks! Enjoy the summer,everyone! SEH
