Pours a hazed golden yellow color. Smell is floral,tropical. Taste not as great as nose light mango some citrus,mango and stone fruits. A soft mouth feel with lower carbonation, not one of my favorites.

A solid IIPA. By solid, I mean it'd do for $12/4-pack. But it's $16. This changes things. There really needs to be a "value" criteria for a _._/5.0 rating.
This beer is a bit of a let down. It's decent. But for that price, and coming from Blackstack, I expected something thicker, richer, stankier, creamier, danker, etc. It is unusually transparent for a Blackstack IPA, altho not entirely transparent. It is one of the least pleasant bitternesses I've ever tasted from an IPA, I'll give it that. The feel and maltiness is on point, but the consistency is that of a more transparent ale -- something that the hop profile doesn't lend itself to very well, in my opinion.

Can. White head. Slightly hazy golden orange color.

Very juicy and tropical. Pineapple, mango, and melon. Very easy drinking, but packed with flavor. A little bit of hops show, earthy and floral. This is another winner from BS. Love that they can pack so much flavor into an IPA.
