Got a 6 pack and it smelled like vomit. Taste was par at best. Wouldn't call this an American IPA. One time buy for me.

Appearance:
Pours a misty, yellow-gold crowned by a choppy wave of white foam

Bouquet:
A vibrant rainbow of ripe fruits, most notably oranges, mangoes, and pineapple. A dapple of lemony hops flutter in the background like a kaleidoscope of citrus butterflies in a sunny orchard.

Feel:
Smooth and supple, like a mouthful of succulent fruit. The fruits breeze on by while a serene drizzle citrus hops linger for a calm moment, then vanish.

Taste:
A crisp cascade of clean tropical fruits traipse about the taste buds: tangerine, blood orange, juicy mango, and freshly chopped pineapple. Each fruit is bold, refreshing and easily distinguishable among the others. Those citrus hops cut across the elaborate fruit platter like a delicate paring knife, its bitter nip surgically shearing off excess fructose for an elegant IPA with poise and balance.

12oz can into a tulip

Look: Pours a light, opaque orange/amber with a finger of fine white foamy on top. This head just won't quit, folks, and net of fine lacing is left behind.
Smell: Bright citrus and topical fruit, orange/blood orange, grapefruit, tangerine, passion fruit, lychee, pineapple, mango and melon.
Taste: Follows the nose but with a very pleasant earthy bitterness underneath/ on the finish that balances the juice.
Feel: Medium bodied, good carbonation and tiny bubbles.
Overall: Good juicy/bitter balance considering the hop choice and added fruit. If you're in the mood for something fruity but not overly sweet, this might be a good choice.

 

Hazy brownish gold (oxidized?), white head with good retention, good lace.
Lots of passionfruit in the nose. A bit of pear and mango as well.
Tart. Just get the passionfruit. No malt, no bitterness.
Light. Good carb. Can't complain on that front
A good beer for folks that don't like beer. It says on the can that it's a session IPA, but at 6.1%, I don't see it.

 

The taste and smell were very nice and tropical. Very weak and thin mouthfeel. I suppose that’s the product of being a shandy.

 

 

Pours an opaque orange with a finger of white foam. Head retention is okay. Aroma is fleshy peach and mango. Flavor profile is fleshy peach and mango with a hint of orange zest. It comes off a little like a fresh, citrus degreaser. Mouth feel is thick and filling, with a velvety, boisterous feel. Overall, a thick blend of peach and mango.

Served in a 12oz snifter from a 12oz can.

i was informed this company only makes shandies, and i suppose this is what happens when you pour juice post fermentation. poured a hazy brass color with several inches of a fluffy head. head dissipated within 1-2 minutes, and left a skim of white foam, plus sticky lacing all over. nose is tropical fruit all the way - lychee, pineapple, passionfruit. on the tongue it hits you with more fruit juice than beer, though i do get some bitterness on the back and sides; it is not a complimentary bitterness in my opinion, and i feel my mouth puckering up. malt presence is body only to me, and i suspect the added fruit juice adds to that feeling. barely any carbonation makes me think i'm drinking a cocktail more than a beer. it needs improvement as an example of an american ipa, and i think there are better fruited beers on the market as well.
