16oz can served in a big snifter. Canned 10/03/2022. Appears to be a collaboration with OddPitch and possibly Varietal.
Pours a dark dingy honey color with about a finger of head. Smell is grapefruit, earthy herbal notes.
Taste is a little vague, almost banana-like fruitiness, moderate fruit skin bitterness.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, smooth, rather still (but not flat). Overall, it's not a bad beer.

Pours a lightly hazy, medium golden amber with a one finger white head with great retention and solid lacing. Aroma of lightly caramel malt, citrus and tropical fruit hops, orange, apricot, mango and pineapple. Flavor is caramel malt, citrus and tropical fruit hops, dried peach and apricot, mango, pineapple and some butterscotch in the finish. Medium bodied with light to moderate creaminess. Here's another entry to the hybrid NW (citrus and pine) and NE (tropical and mixed fruit) IPA. Not too hazy on first pour, but definitely has the tropical fruit notes of a hazy IPA, although it also has some West Coast notes as well. The biggest surprise for me is that this isn't all that bitter; light to moderate, which would have been a fail for me normally, but I really, really liked the hop flavors in this one and the bitterness was just enough to keep me happy. There is a distinct caramel / butterscotch element to the malt and/or fruit notes, which I quite enjoyed. I'll be watching for this new YQH-1320 hop, it may be a winner for me. Not a traditional West Coast IPA, but it pushed my buttons. Another winning fresh hop.
