From notes

 

 

Appearance: Pours a mostly hazy (20% clarity) medium, bright orange color with a moderate white head. SRM of 7-8. (4.00)

Aroma: Strong and juicy aromas of orange, pineapple, green citrus and guava. Some mango and sweet pomelo and green citrus underneath. Strong gasoline in the aromas which is offputting. (3.50)

Flavor: Strong juicy flavors of orange juice, pineapple, green citrus and guava. A subtle citrus peel bitterness. Overall, finishes sweet. (3.75)

Feel: Heavier-bodied. Lower carbonation. A slightly sticky sweetness on the finish. (3.50)

Compared to Equilibrium Mast Theory 8/14/22: Pours a brighter, clearer color. Milder head. Stronger aromas. More sweet green citrus, bitterness. More pineapple. Less mango.

Compared to Fat Orange Cat Someone in my head 9/15/22: Pours a darker, clearer color. More gasoline and green mango notes. Less orange citrus, marmalade, sweet berry and pine.

Overall: A sweeter and more imperial IPA. Nice sweet orange and pineapple. Slight bitter citrus peel. The booze shines through here a bit. Slightly heavier, sweeter, and boozier than my preference. Still, pretty good. (Rating: 3.96)
On my second review, lots of gasoline aromas, very offputting. (Rating: 3.63)

 

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a hazy yellow-orange color with a huge head of puffy white foam. The head has a fantastic level of retention, fading very slowly over time to leave a ton of foamy lace residue on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is rather strong of a ruby red grapefruit and orange aroma mixed with some mango, pineapple and tangerine. Along with these smells comes notes of pine and herb as well as a good showing of some hay and lemon.
Taste – The taste begins with a sweeter tangerine, mango, and pineapple flavor mixed with notes of honeydew and cantaloupe as well as some light caramel flavors. Right from the start the grapefruit and pine hop are present with the later growing stronger as the taste advances. Throughout the flavor transitions, other flavors of herb and some peach and apricot come to the tongue, along with a little bit of hay and must. A touch of graininess and some lemon develop along the way, mixing with all the other flavors to leave a sweet, but very well balanced and enjoyable taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is medium in thickness and creaminess with a moderate carbonation as well. For the variety of fruit mixed with the varietal of hop, the feel is fantastic and makes for a nice sipper.
Overall – A super flavorful and fruit forward IPA with a fantastic balance and drinkability. This is one to seek out if you have the opportunity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poured an orange-gold body with two-finger head that slowly died and left a lace ring down glass. Mild, grainy tropical fruit aroma with some earthy hops in aroma as well. Smooth, sleek, easy to drink, with no booziness and a moderate fruit sweetness with a touch of caramel malt and biscuit - these last notes are minor but do get a malt heft and sweetness not usually found in this beer style. Got some classic citric and floral hops on the finish as well and this was an enjoyable beer.
