No canning date (released on 6/20/20, so presumably canned within a few days of that date)
Pours a turbid golden honey hue and topped with multiple fingers of white head; decent retention leaves a half-finger of foamy cap, chunky collar, and gobs of webby, soapy lacing spread generously around the glass.
Aroma opens with light white wine grape phasing into passionfruit and ultra-fresh mango slices as a melon and cat piss-dank quality contrasts softly over the middle; papaya rind and flowing tropical resin mark the back end of the bouquet.
Taste brings peaches and passionfruit into a wave of tropical resin over the mid-palate; slightly underripe tones of melon alongside hints of papaya come together for an earthier, yet still tropical, back end, while touches of flaky malt are still present in the backdrop.
Mouthfeel features a medium-full body, crisp and drying upfront, as a mild-medium carbonation spritzes along the palate offering a delicately vivacious character; a resinous, citric brightness develops over the mid-palate before touches of booze meld into a prickly, mild bitterness on the finish and through the swallow.
Plush and inviting, this TIPA betrays what you might expect from a +10%er in the style; instead, the result is something as spectacularly even-tempered as it is coolly expressive; a truly impressive display quality and balance in a fashion Tombstone is quickly becoming known for, at least in my mind.

Picked up a 16 oz single from the Craft Beer Quick Stop cooler 6-22-20 for $5.69. Canned on 6-20-20; consumed 7-22-20. Cold stored since purchase.
Beer poured a hazy orange with a nice white head with the original pour.
Nose is wonderful, full of juicy oranges, grapefruit, papaya, and mango.
Taste is very good, a large pale malt base combines very well with orange, mango, and grapefruit. Finishes very dry and with a nice pulpy bitterness; 7/10 on my bitterness scale.
Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied, smooth and refreshing.
Overall the beer definitely hits the style guidelines very well. Another enjoyable TIPA from TBC!
