16 oz. Can
Poured into a Tree House glass a pretty nice cloudy pale yellow color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger plus off-white head, which also leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, guava, mango), nice little diesel like. The taste is pretty nice hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, guava, mango), nice diesel like. Medium body, ABV hidden very nicely, with a nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a pretty tasty brew. Orange Julius! Addictive! MilkShake! Nice to see it around here.

Initial impression from a can:
"Hazy IPA." 7% ABV.
Citrus zest is strong in this one. Orange, tangerine. Pale malts. Yes, rind.
A bit simplistic for a turbid IPA in 2020. Balanced enough but lacklustre.
High C / AVERAGE
***
04/19/20 second impression from another can:
16 fl oz pull-tab with an orange label. No born on or best by date appears on the can.
Orange zest, orange peel, tangerine, cool tropical fruit (something kind of like lychee but without the sliminess), pale malt sweetness.
More balanced when served very cold than merely chilled, which doesn't bode well (I could say the same thing about most adjunct lagers). Sure it's a bit simple and doesn't really bring the hop pungency and depth of hop flavour it needs to to really stand up against the myriad beers it's competing with in the oversaturated IPA style, but I can't say I dislike it.
Has the hop pungency of a pale ale. Not the most interesting or memorable entry in its intended style, but it's drinkable and enjoyable for what it is. Actually, its drinkability relative to its 7% ABV is easily its best characteristic.
