Pretty darn good. Kinda blends into the mass of other IPAs. But its not bad or boring by any stretch. The winner is
That it doesnt drink to its ABV. It feels very Smooth and not hot. Enjoy

Cloudy liquid. Dirty gold color. Moderate head which leaves several wider streaks on the glass.
The smell is reminiscent of the grain mash at full boil--a cross between malted and raw barley with a modest sweetness. Light peppery bitter nose.
The flavor is dry surprisingly. The beginning is straight-up pale malt that is quickly overwhelmed by the biting bitterness from the nondescript hop. Above average body with a lighter carbonation level. The swallow brings out a bit of unexpected alcohol. Lengthy aftertaste with a small amount of earthiness.

Poured from a can to a standard pint. No head at all. Beer otherwise smells and tastes fine so I carried on. Peachy orange color, biting carbonation but with finer bubbles, reminds me of perrier water. Thick mouthfeel, straightforward, hazy taste, love letting beers like this one warm up a bit.

16 FL. OZ. can
Served in a stemless wine glass
This beer pours an orangish shade of yellow and is turbid. It is topped with a couple inches of tan head that leaves spotty lacing.
Citrus aroma. Grapefruit.
The taste is citrus with an emphasis on grapefruit. I get a slight medicinal flavor.
Medium bodied with a slightly gritty mouthfeel
Solid beer. It is not sweet like a lot of hazies are.

Drank this out of the can because I'm at a rental. I did pour a little into a glass, and it's surprisingly dark colored for an IPA. A review below used the words "caramel" and "honey" which is 100% accurate. Smells like a hoppy IPA to me, not much else I'm picking up.
Taste is superb – very well balanced and not overly hoppy as some strong IPAs can be. Light carbonation. Strong orange flavor (similar to Oh J IPA for those who are familiar) and a light sweetness. Really enjoyed this one.

Tasted from 16 ounce can. It poured a caramel honey color and had a very mild, sweet turmeric aroma (nice). Taste is very smooth, malty, with a subtle hint of pineapple and little bitterness (it could pass as a golden colored stout). This is a very drinkable beer and will purchase again.
