A: The beer is very hazy pale yellow in color. It poured with a short white head that quickly died down, leaving a thin ring of bubbles around the edge.
S: Moderate aromas of orange and tangerine citrus are present in the nose along with hints of pine.
T: The taste follows the smell, with the pine being a bit stronger but mostly being towards the finish.
M: It feels medium-bodied, crisp and a bit juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I enjoyed the contrasting flavors of citrus and pine in the taste of this IPA.

Poured into a 16 oz Nordic pint glass canned on 5/10/21. Pours a cloudy orange yellow with a finger sticky white head that covers the sides of the glass with lace, with excellent retention. 4.25

Aroma peach, papaya, ripe melon, passion fruit, mandarin, and apricot. 4.25

Taste follows cantaloupe, peach, papaya, passion fruit, mandarin, and apricot really balanced, with a little bitterness. 4.25

Mouthfeel is above average, fairly gentle carbonation, not dry or sticky, and at 8% really easy drinking. 4.25

Overall this is definitely worth a shot. Not dazzling but really well made and tasty. 4.25
