Appearance: Poured like pineapple juice right out the can, underwhelming head and lacing, a damn near muddy yellow looking drink. Definitely hazy territory. Need to swirl the can prior to popping the latch.
Smell: Upfront you get bright succulent pineapple followed by overly ripe mango. Then comes this floral grassy hop aroma and a touch of lemon curd.
Taste: True to smell. Pineapple juicy sweetness allover followed by orange blossom, mango, and candied lemon peal. Not
heavy but refreshingly crisp and bitter on the finish. This could be the bright part...
Overall: Solid NE IPA style. Awesome fruit forward aroma. A must try if you cross paths with this seasonally striking and hypnotic label. Cheers!

From the bottom of the can: "12/05/19 13:01"
Appearance: The body is a pale straw color that is opaque. The head is short and white with large bubbles. Not much head retention and no lacing.
Aroma: It has a very nice aroma of perfectly ripened pineapple, a touch of mango, a light bit of passion fruit, and some tangerine.
Taste: There is a grapefruit and pineapple flavor up front, followed in short by a bit of mango and some peach, then followed by a touch of alcohol and a light bit of grain flour flavor. It is very tasty.
Mouthfeel: It is smooth with just a light bit of pithy bitterness.
Overall: The can states that this is an "INDA PALE ALE with AMARILLO & AZACCA." There are combinations of these hops in other beers but this one managed to do an outstanding job. Despite this being labeled as a simple IPA it clearly is a New England style IPA and and it is a solid one at that. I would drink it again and I would highly recommend it to people looking for a solid New England style IPA.
