12 oz can from the brewery in Brevard NC.
Yet another hazy IPA but at least it is better looking than most with its lightly hazy, reddish-amber colored body and a fine off-white head. It smells better too, with plenty of see wet malts to go with the hops. Despite these promising signs I was still pleasantly surprised by the very appealing and well balanced flavor which may be better than any other hazy IPAs I've tried.
Overall. Excellent and highly recommended.

Drinking this at The Ecusta Brewery in Brevard NC.
Poured from a tap into a pint glass.
Appears Hazy amber with a nice foamy head that dropped quickly to a thin cap and a little lacing.
Smells citrusy orange grapefruit and piney.
Taste follows the nose.
Mouth feel is medium for the style.
Overall a nice IPA that I might order again.

Taste: It has some grainy sweetness with pine and low citrus.
