I don't see a date listed on the can.
Appearance: It is the color of orange juice, and it is completely opaque. It has a light big of gummy-like transparency around the edges but it can't be seen through. The head is large, white, and rocky. Great retention and lacing.
Aroma: It smells like fruit but there is also an odd plastic aroma. At first there is this mix of mango and honeydew melon, then it turns into a bit of vinyl, then back to what smells like peach, then back to vinyl. It is a very odd mix of aromas but the good scents smell good.
Taste: Much of the same characters come through. It starts out with a pretty strong peach flavor which is nice, then it flops into this plastic-like vinyl character. Some alcohol comes through as the beer sits a bit.
Mouthfeel: It is light bodied but doesn't have the standard soft texture of a typical New England IPA. Bitterness is medium-low but present in more of a raspy character than a solid bitterness.
Overall: The odd plastic or vinyl characters are pretty off-putting, but there are some redeeming aromas and flavors. It seems pretty atypical for a beer from Benchtop Brewing. I have a four-pack and while it's drinkable it isn't at a point where I would want to buy it again or recommend it.
