Pours a hazy orange color. A large creamy foam head retains well. Some nice lacing patterns.
In the nose I’m getting a mix of citrus and stone fruit, as well as a touch of tropical fruit. Aromas of orange, tangerine, lemon and lime add some pithiness, while notes of peach, apricot, papaya and passion fruit add some sweetness.
The malt base provides a smooth and creamy backbone to support the hops, evoking notes of biscuit, cracker, wheat and oats. Moderately sweet, but dry, with zesty and bright hops flavors, citrusy, cleanly resiny, and fruity. Notes of grapefruit, orange, lime, peach, and passion. Hops bitterness is mild with lightly grassy and floral notes.
Medium bodied with a smooth and creamy mouthfeel. The finish is smooth and dry overall. The carbonation is moderate to gentle.
Nice IPA. Very smooth and easy to drink, with clean and well executed hops flavors. I would have again.

Canned 8/16/21.
L: Pours a hazy yellow-orange with a short white head that sticks to the edge of the glass. Thin lacing that looks pretty.
S: Muted tropical and stone fruit aroma. A bit of mango and peach.
T: A juicy fruit blast up front, than a peachy middle. Finishes dry but not bitter. Very nice.
F: Well carbed, prickly but pleasant mouthfeel.
O: The juicy fruit slap is outstanding. This IPA totally exceeded expectations.

A: The beer is hazy yellow in color and has a light to moderate amount of carbonation. It poured with a finger high bright white head that died down, leaving a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of citrusy hops are present in the nose—grapefruit and lemon seem to stand out in particular—along with some hints of floral hops.
T: The taste has flavors of orange citrus hops with bits of floral hops and a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation. Only a faint amount of crispness is noticeable.
O: This IPA is quite citrusy and feels rather "juicy" on the mouthfeel.
Serving type: can
