16 oz. can.
Canned 02/17/20.
Moderate to vigorous pour yields a one inch white head over a hazy golden orange body with some lacing. Nose of citrus and slight tropical fruit with a some floral/herbal notes as well. Taste follows nose closely with a dry finish of bitter citrus pith. Nice feel and overall, another fine offering from UPBC's H2H series and would recommend.
Cheers!

Can stamped on the bottom rim reads "02/17/20."
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a semi-rugged burnt orange color topped by a finger's worth of white foamy head softly gliding off to leave some mellow lace.
The aroma was an absolutely stunning blend of freshly cleaned laundry with zesty hop spice popping some grassy dry hop to some pine needles. Then super subtle lemon rind further underneath.
The flavor pops with the dry hop spice with a subtle citrusy sweetness but even that is quite backed up by plenty of bitterness. Quick aftertaste of dry piney to zesty hop spice.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Some smoothness but that meets enough dryness with a sturdy carbonation. Finishes crisp with dry hopping.
Overall, to me this definitely seems way more "dryer" than the rest of the series. Still, quite a nice beer well worthy to come back to.
