Cloudy orange, fluffy head, strong lacing and legs for an IPA. Slight notes of orange, grapefruit, and mango. Taste presents stronger, citrusy, juicy. Bit of a piney finish. Medium bodied, lightly mouth watering, subtly assertive alcohol presence. I think the first can I had was better, but not bad.

Pours a hazy yellow color. A fingernail length head shows good retention. The lacing is swirly and sticky.
Fruity, citrusy and bright, with notes of herbal spices. Notes of grapefruit, orange, mango, peach and pear. Aromas of pine resin and grass add pungent notes.
Taste is juicy but with a nice dryness and prickly spices. A dry cracker and creamy oats base supports bright and pithy notes of grapefruit, orange and lime. Notes of pineapple, mango, peach and pear are contrasted with sharp spices that yield piney, grassy and peppery notes.
Medium to full bodied, however, it feels light on its toes for the 8% ABV. The mouthfeel is smooth with a dry and resiny bitter finish. The carbonation is moderate.
This was easy to drink and tasty to boot. This is my kind of hazy IPA because while it’s juicy, it is balanced by the type of spices I like. I would have again.
