3/21/22 dated tall can.
More then a medium haze, lasting lite khaki cap and leaving slippery strands of medium bubble lacing.
Lite and fruity sniff, with notes of fresh berries, and kiwi/mango/lemon/lime.
Smooth and pleasing in the mouth.
Fresh and fruity tasting. Light tropical notes along with again berries and some earthy/herbal goodness, adding to the complexity. Good stuff that is well worth a try

A: The beer is very hazy pale yellow in color. It poured with a short white head that quickly died down, leaving only a minuscule collar around the edge and bits of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of candy, honeydew melon, lime and strawberry are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell, except that the flavors of candy are stronger and there are additional hints of pineapple. Little to no bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and somewhat juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I found this IPA to have a unique profile of aromas and flavors. It hid its alcohol rather well.

Undated (WTF) can into pint glass. Pours a murky gold with a nice off-white head. Good lacing. Initial impression is juicy grapefruit, lemon, pineapple, and just a hint of sweetness. Perfectly balanced. Mouthfeel is medium as is carbonation. Finish evolves to a slight resinous bitterness. Overall,a super drinkable and well-executed DIPA. Good stuff - get you some!

Green Empire and Upper Pass
Belma-El Dorado-Enigma-Strata hops
This foursome of hops provides some very interesting and kinky aspects to this beer experience.
Tropical, fresh, earthy and husky hop aroma is bold. Sweet fruitiness with a dank earthy malted grains thing to keep it centered.
Same bold hoppy flavors, tropical juicy and wet earthy tones all combine for a some serious fun.
Mega fresh and smooth feel, crisp, fresh, silky smooth.
Wild VT collaboration.
