Can. Murky with no head. Fizzy canned grapefruit juice and raw pizza dough. This body full of gross yeast. Whoever decided that this is how all IPA should be now should be taken out and shot. Bad even for a NE IPA.

Bottom of the can stamped "101519."
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a nice looking burnt orange to paper yellow color. Quarter finger's worth of white foamy head sat there for a little bit before gently dissipating into roaming valleys. A light delicate lace glosses the sides of the glass.
The aroma had some creamy sweet orange juicy hops up front playing with some papaya, tangerines and grapefruit pith. Ever so slight grassy hops coming through with some warmth. Mild clean malt, somewhat biscuity but not exactly noticeable.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet side, some juiciness and creamy sweetness rolls in for a very nice balance. Mild aftertaste of sweet creamy oranges and some grassiness.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a good sipping ability to it. Carbonation felt nice and low as expected for the style. Some stickiness on my tongue but not cloying. Finishes mostly smooth and juicy.
Overall, what an absolute gem for the style! Of course, I'd want this again.

Poured into a 16 oz Deciduous Snulip glass not sure when it was canned. Pours a very hazy yellow orange with a finger plus sticky white head that leaves thick rings around the sides of the glass, with solid retention. 4.75

Smell is apricot, stone fruit, papaya, mandarin, coconut, and some grapefruit rind. 4.25

Taste follows tropical upfront papaya, mandarin, tangerine upfront with apricot, stone fruit, and grapefruit in the bold and lasting finish. 4.5

Mouthfeel is big, soft carbonation, sticky not dry, and at 8.5% extremely approachable. 4.5

Overall this stuff is awesome and different. Really well done. 4.5
