Poured from 16oz can into a tulip. Big Secret had a very limited canning run with brewery-only release.

Appearance: moderately hazy medium-golden hue with two fingers of frothy ivory foam. Quite nice.

Smell: guava, passionfruit and pineapple are at the top of this beer's massively juicy, fruity aroma. There's also a slight Juicy Fruit element in here which really seals the deal for me. Amazing.

Taste: aroma carries through in the flavor. This is like a glass of POG -- the most tropical, fruity, somewhat bubblegummy beer you will ever have. Bitterness is quite low, but I won't hold that against it. Is this beer the apotheosis of hazy, juicy IPAs? I don't know, but if it's not, it's damn close.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a good carbonation and a very smooth creaminess, especially for an IPA.

Overall: this beer suits my palate almost perfectly. Out-freaking-standing.
