Two fingers of off-white foam, visually shows good density but retention is average at best, lacing more a web than streaks, not much stickiness. Fully hazy, impenetrable yellow puree. Powerful nose, quite floral with nicely contrasting pepperiness, bright tangerine zest, some buttered biscuit, juicy mango, papaya, peach fruit, minimal herbaceousness. Light to medium-bodied, carbonation displays more prickle than creaminess. Spiciest during mouth entry, tea leaf, mandarin orange to pink grapefruit pulp predominate here too. Clean and fresh, seems to intentionally avoid hints of dankness. Sweet guava, mango, apricot fruit, mere variation of the nose. Smooth and flows through the palate with ease. Sweet and approachable, kind of too sweet at times, throws the overall balance off. Only issue is the ridiculous price (which can be said of more and more beers these days).

Pours a hazy pale yellow with some orange tints to it, sports a nice white two finger head that falls slowly to a cap with good lace.

Aroma is very fruity citrus heavy orange, tangerine, passion fruit slight grapefruit rind bitterness all riding on a semi sweet bready malt base.

Taste is like the nose hop flavors mostly citrus fruity on a semi sweet bready malt base. Orange, tangerine light juicy fruit notes with some lighter lingering grapefruit bitterness. A good hazy IPA nothing to really knock it for not great enought to seek out and pay 4 bucks a can for either,

Mouthfeel is medium well almost medium carbonation doesn't seem to high but something is making this one seem a little lighter on my palette.

Overall not a bad beer probably just me but a hazy IPA has to be about great for me to want to repeat buy it.
