Poured into a glass. A cloudy golden color with a huge foamy head that sticks around. A sweet fruity type of smell. Light hoppy flavor and feel

Pours a semi-translucent straw color. Not hazy, but not transparent. Booming nearly-white head that stays and leaves good lacing.
Smell: FINALLY an IPA that smells like a real IPA (that is, "new" IPAs). Pine, mango, bread, pineapple, citrus, bubble gum. DELICIOUS smell.
Taste: First hit is definitely pine resin and second hit is tropical fruit, in that order, just as it should be. Slight spice comes into the middle of the swallow, followed by a bread essence, and finally ending in a bitter and amazing pine-resin afterglow. Absolutely superb.
Mouthfeel is medium, with moderate carbonation. Definitely spot on for the ABV of this beer, at 6.5%. Alcohol presence is scarce with the deliciously bitter taste.
Overall 5/5. 100/100. Best IPA I have had in a VERY long time, aside from Spindletaps Heavy Hands. It is similar to Heavy Hands, but is much more approachable, as it has lower ABV.
DO IT AGAIN, SPINDLETAP!!!

Houston Hustle has a medium, off-white head and a hazy, yellow-gold appearance, with some lacing. The aroma is of bread and fruit. It has a similar flavor, with very low bitterness and not too much sweetness. Houston Hustle displays a medium body, a soft mouthfeel, and a dry finish.

From a 12oz can dated 01/09/24
This beer is a semi murky pouring beer, and somewhat lemon colored, or straw colored. The head is a frothy and fluffy looking 2 finger white color. Long lasting, and there's some lacing on the glass.
The nose is juicy and tropical smelling. I get notes of mango in it. I also get some pineapple.
Taste - Mango is the main flavor I'm getting here, and it's a very sweet tropical flavor off of it. Slight pineapple, but mostly mango.
The body does feel like I'm drinking a citrus juice. Somewhat soft feeling.
This is a tasty take on the style. It is a bit sweeter than most in the style, but it works well.

Pours a cloudy dark golden color with a thick foamy head. Head retention is good. Lacing is very good. Nice, fresh juicy citrus aroma and piney resin. Great fresh citrus taste. Nice, mild piney resin. Decent bitterness. Light bodied with moderate carbonation.
