16oz can poured into a globe.

A: Dull yellow in color with a uniform opaque haze. Theo fingers of fine-bubbled white head retains well. Chunky lacing.

S: Very grassy and green. Fresh grass clippings. Lemon drop candy. Pithy white grapefruit with sugar and some underripe mango. Pineapple juice. Crackery and doughy with a hint of starchy oats.

T: Big tropical onslaught up front. Lots of orange juice and pineapple. Lemon drop candy. Pithy white grapefruit. Lots of zesty citrus. Star fruit. Hints of sauce blanc. Green and grassy with a sense of fresh lawn clippings. Bitterness is fairly tame. Bread dough and starchy oats. Drying finish with lingering tropical and grassy flavors.

M: Medium-Full body. Fluffy and creamy feel. Ample carbonation prickles the tip of the tongue and scrubs a bit. Some gritty hop astringency.

O: Really good hazy IPA. Very clean, approachable, and vibrant with tropical hop flavor. Throw it in a blind tasting with some of the more hyped-up haze breweries and I think it would hold its own.

 

16 oz. can. Hazy orange body. Smells of white grape, acidic fruit, and some citrus. Tastes of grapefruit, white grape, and passion fruit. Cracker malt with earthy tones. And a little bit of butter in the back end. It's not strong, but it lingers. Medium body. I don't get any of the butter on the nose, so it smells good, but the back end ruins it.

 

16oz can purchased at the brewery. Pours a cloudy burnt orange with an inch of head. Tons of lacing. Citrus hop aroma. Grapefruit, lemon, orange and tangerine. Some white wine as well. The taste is a nice blend of white wine, grapefruit and lemon. Slightly sweet at times thanks to the citrus. Grapefruit and white grape finish and some herbal hop notes. Soft with a medium body and a slightly oily mouthfeel.
