16 oz can, poured into shaker pint glass

slightly hazy orange golden color, white head. Nice balance between fruitness and underlying bitterness, and soft mouthfeel. sort of a cross between NEIPA and traditional DIPA.

Can dated 3/3/21 into pint glass. Pours a hazy amber-gold with a brief off-white head. Minimal lacing. Initial impression is grapefruit, floral, and fruit, overlaid by a slight caramel sweetness. Mouthfeel is medium, as is carbonation. Finish is somewhat sweet and quite juicy, with just a hint of lingering bitterness. Overall, a little sweet for my tastes but an excellent DIPA nonetheless.

helluva beer from Yards, I must say. They are local (cool) but not typically one of my faves. But hats off for this effort.
L: From the can, stylishly non-stylish. Kudos.
S: very inviting. grapefruit. some sweet citrus.nice.
T: delivers on the nose. grapefruit, sweet citrus. lightly bitter.
F: thick, very light carbonation. i wouldn't mind a bit more...
O: Nicely done by Yards! Philly Strong!

Canned on 03-01-21.

A - Hazy dark orange gold color with sticky white lacing.

S - Grapefruit, citrus, mild spicy citrus rind. Overall aroma is slightly sticky.

T - Follows the nose with grapefruit, sweet citrus, some spicy fruit rind, delicate bitter sticky floral, and a unique "woodiness" lying underneath on the backside, and maybe just a very small tinge of bubblegum.

M - Thick mouthfeel with a soft texture and carbonated pricklies hitting the tongue.

O - Yards did a nice job with this beer and has a perfect price point. Worth a try.

From a tap into a clear pint glass it came. It's a beautiful dank gold color with some wisps of white head. The aroma above the glass indicates there is some hoppy and malty goodness below. There is. More toward a citrus fruit kind of hoppiness with a little mangolike flavor included. It arrives via a nice body which isn't sweet nor very malty. The finish is bitter, mildly alcoholic and rather dry. A little glass lacing leaves witness to a very tasty beer.
