16oz can from Tavour. Hazy yellow pour, small foamy white head settles to thin layer. Aroma is unpeeled oranges. Taste is citrusy, grapefruit, light zest, juicy. Creamy feel, smooth, highly enjoyable.

Not sure how it’s retired, drinking a 6/23 can right now. Juicy, citrusy, slightly bitter. Seems like a New England IPA to me. Tasty, crisp, clean finish. Like it.

Poured from a can, enjoyed during the summer of 2022.
It's another hazy, with a light aroma. Lots of Citra on the sip, true to it's name. I wouldn't mind another.

What a beautiful aromatic beer! It tastes like fresh fruit with a soft foam of bitterness. It amazes me how Barebottle can infuse such levels of excitement in their brews.

Nice head initially but dissipates quickly and leaves scarce lacing. Citra is present and in force, though alcohol is also slightly apparent. The feel is decent for a NEIPA, but not quite as creamy as some of Barebottle's other offerings.

I love Barebottle brews. Best IPAs and APAs on the west coast in my opinion on average. A lot of brewers have one or two good IPAs but Barebottle ranges from the high end of the glut of average beers to stellar. Nothing you wish straight up you didn't pay real money for. This is no exception it has some weight and a little boozy heat, which generally I don't go for, but wow everything else balances that so nicely. They know what they're doing and I love how they put their recipes on the back label for those who aspire!

Sample at the brewery
Pours hazy light yellow. Small head. Fine carbonation. Smell is strong pineapple and tropical juice.
Taste is boozy and bitter with a strong fruitiness.
Mouthfeel is thick and smooth. Overall, good.

Wow, outstanding hazy double, the best Barebottle I've had, seriously impressed with this one. Terrific intensity & profile of citrus and some tropical aroma & flavor. Compares to the better double hazies produced around here.
