Love the name, and potential hop characters, canned 7/03
Decent fizzy foamy head, half finger fades at a med pace, nice lacing, mostly clear slight hazy honey orange color
Nose weird Amarillo onion thing almost like mosaic, the f*ck?! Clear onion garlic mess, pine sap, behind that I get some pineapple but like skin, and little mild citrus tropical, some tropical fruit I can't put my finger on, plenty of rind
Taste a little better, no actually the same, garlic, salami (I'm not joking), onion vegetal thing again, little spicy hop and pine, some pineapple again more the hard center part or the skin, generic tropical and citrus notes, touch of sweet malt, turning very spicy late, bitter rind lingering
Mouth is med bod, decent carb
Overall poor, the Amarillo hop I believe was treated with the same sadness that previous years mosaic got and tastes like Shit.

I love the feel of Lamplighter’s beers. This one tastes pleasantly fizzy, lightly bitter and hoppy. Looks great in a glass — glowing orange with a foamy white head. First time I’ve seen this one in the store and I’d for sure buy again.

Not super murky. Has some fun light bubbly action not usually present in the style normally (the can calls it a NEIPA). Ripe fruit - some mango and grapefruit sweetened up by some fairly breadt malt. Pleasantly bitter - love the rind and pine finish after the initial fruit wave. Not juicy in the parlance of other NEIPAs. Perhaps a bit too chewy. I really like the old school nature of this ipa.

Pine, grapefruit rind, unripe mango and maybe some orange. Biscuit malt. Doughy. Somewhat malty. Super dry finish. Almost no sweetness. Very west coast in style. Thinking more Amarillo than Galaxy in this guy. I wish it was the other way around.

Semi cloudy golden copper color with a 3F head in. Spiegelau IPA glass.
Aroma: vanilla, tropical fruit, citrus.
Excellent taste: great blend of tropical, vanilla, and citrus.
Very smooth MF for an IPA. moderate bitterness.
Another excellent beer from Lamplighte.

Poured from a can fresh from the brewery, dated 4/25/18 (five days old). Can says IPA with Amarillo and Galaxy hops.
Looks good, a slightly hazy orange gold with a dense white head. Lots of sudsy lace.
Great smell and taste! Orange, passionfruit and citrus resin. Deep and clear hop flavors with a well-rounded bready malt base and light caramel tones.
Feels solid, smooth and resinous. Some fruit flavors and a full feel but it ends with a dark resinous bitterness rather than being too sweet/juicy.
Overall, a really excellent IPA! Glad I could pick some up!
