This double dry hopped IPA comes at you with a ton of fruit flavors. Guava, pineapple, & grapefruit are just some of the juicy/tropical notes coming from the Galaxy & Citra hops.

Such a balanced, refreshing Hazy IPA! Poured from the can with a massive 1-2 inch head. The fruitiness and hops are there, then the aftertaste is smooth, slightly spicy, but not dominating. Very nice lacing. One of my favorite Hazy IPAs ever!
Edit: I've had it from the tap as well as cans. I must admit that there has been some variation in quality across some of the 6 packs. Nothing crazy, but some have certainly been better than others.

Dank, resinous, pineapple explosion. Very good representation of the NE ipa style. A top Texas beer in my book.

Best beer in texas. These guys know what they are doing. Amazing job. Water chemistry is top notch. Whatever yall are doing keep that "shit" up. The double hazies are wonderful. But for a constant beer drinker houston haze is where it is at ......... if you enjoy good beer that is.... not for the generic dumb dumb beers. Bud stella coors natty piss water.... plz drink better beer. Love all yall but just be responsible and drink better. Best local beer I've tasted. Any one rates this under a 4 I question their beer palate. Shame on them

Up until now, I'd say that this is literally the best hazy-style IPA that Texas has to offer.
Smell - Pure juice. Grapefruit and orange juice.
Taste - Sweet with the right amount of deeper citrus bite.
Mouthfeel - Thick and gushy. Don't expect a lot of bubbles here.
Drink, up.

Drinking this beer on tap at the brewery. All my favorite hops (CMG) and looks really juicy, but disappointing. Smells good with grapefruit and some orange, but the taste is fair at best. Too much astringency from the hops. I like a nice hop bite, but this is harsh and not fruity. I don’t taste any distinctive Citra and Mosaic and the galaxy is hurting my palette. This is a muddled hop mess and it’s difficult to drink due to the abrasiveness. I don’t understand how this can be rated as high as it is. Maybe this is a bad batch or some flunky is brewing this beer after the premier brewers have stopped. Happens a lot.

I'm a GITM guy, but when I tried this it blew me away with it's dankness, it's juicy (but not OVER juiced) flavor.
$13 bucks for 6 instead of $13 for 4 is a pretty good trade off as well.
Not quite as smooth as Ghost, but this is one tasty brew.
