Strong peach and apricot notes with nuances of berries, cantaloupe, and citrus. Mild malt backbone balances and compliments the lovely hop presence for a full-bodied, bold IPA.

3.81/5  rDev -3.3%

Picked up a 16oz single can from Blue Door Bottleshop 2-17-22 for $4.25. Canned 12-3-21; consumed 5-24-22. Cold stored since purchase.

Beer poured gold with an okay white head.

Nose is a combination of tropical and floral hops.

Taste is a large malt base with grapefruit, orange, and mango finishing with a balancing pine rind bitterness; 6/10 on my scale.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied and fairly smooth.

Overall an okay brew, would have been very popular 10 years ago as it is brewed in the old school big malt big hop way, the kind that assaults the palette full force.
