16oz can purchased from the fridge as a single. Canned on 03/12/26, so this is beer is just over two months old.

Look: Pours a moderately hazy orange color. There was a bit of a head upon pouring, but it reduced to almost nothing (just a bit of a rim around the edge of the glass). Upon pouring the bottom of the can, the beer's color lightens a bit as it gains a bit more haziness.

Smell: Nice citrusy aromas of grapefruit and mandarin oranges. I also get some tropical notes and stone fruit like peaches. Fairly simple aromas but it does smell inviting.

Taste: On the palate, this beer has a bit more complexity than the nose. Initially, it tastes like most other Hazy IPAs with the citrusy, juicy notes. However, as you get more into this, one of the things that makes it different to me is the strong bitterness on the finish. The relatively high acidity/juiciness is another aspect that is becoming more and more rare in IPAs nowadays. So for these reasons, I am a fan of this beer because I like my IPAs to be bitter and have acidity where applicable. The bitter finish is sharp yet does not linger so long; it is pithy and a bit resinous but also juicy and a bit astringent. So the beer is overall pretty dry which is also a positive aspect for me.

Feel: It has a soft, creamy mouthfeel especially after pouring the bottom of the can. Nicely carbonated and medium plus bodied.

Overall: It's a better than average Imperial IPA / Hazy Imperial IPA. I would suggest that this beer's style should be Hazy Imperial IPA. I think that this is the first beer that I have had that uses either Dolcita or Peacharine hops. It's hard to distinguish the properties of either hop variety, but they taste interesting and tasty. Overall, this is a nice collab beer from Foam and Bissell Brothers!

The emptying of the entire contents of a pint can into a clear glass liter mug produced the now too familiar overly generous stark white foam. Visually constitute with the modern American IPAs, this is cloudy lemon-amber in color. There's a citrusy hop bite to smell, but not much more. Its taste is the now standard modestly hoppy, with citrus notes, without any meaningful contributions from whatever combination of starches used to create a medium. For a DIPA with an ABV of 8%, this is almost amazingly concealed. Other than that, there's nothing praiseworthy here. Not that it's bad, it's certainly not. The starch backbone provides a decent mouthfeel and sweetness. There's no glass lacing to augment the look, nor to evoke a reconsidering of the mouthfeel. Overall, it's a pleasant way to down a pint with enough alcohol to provide a nice buzz, but not one for expanding taste nuances.

On tap at Chomp Kitchen in Providence. A hazy IPA that drinks smooth and light. Full of peach and cherry (stone fruit) blended with some citrus. Ugly hazy but with good lacing.
