It pours an opaque, light orange with no head at all.

The aroma is very faint. There's hints of apricot and lemon, but you really have to get in there to pick up any aroma at all. There's also an unpleasant hint of reminds me of stale water, like of a water glass that you forgot about and found days later.

The taste of lemon forward mixed with some tangerine and a bit of vegetal hop in the finish and light bitterness. It almost tastes watered down.

The mouthfeel is the best part about this beer. No complaints here.

Overall, this is one of the more disappointing NE/Hazy IPAs I've had, and overall bland.

No evident canning date. Poured into a pint glass. It pours a hazy, burnt orange color with a half finger of creamy, bright white head and soapy lacing. The nose is fruity with lemon, grapefruit, pineapple, ripe melon, and a firm malty base. It's taste is a good balance of tart citrus, oat sweetness, and wheat cracker. The Simcoe hops provide earthiness while the Amarillo lends some orange sweetness as it warms. The mouth feel is nice; thick and creamy with appropriate carbonation, and it's readily drinkable at 6% ABV. Overall, Fort Nonsense has upped its hazy IPA game. In Full Effect is lite and very drinkable.

In Full Effect pours a very hazy straw yellow. Not too much of a white head. The full foam dies off relatively quickly but the lacing lasts as you sip.

As others have noted - the small is slightly lacking. There is a bit of citrus but not too much else comes through for me.

In Full Effect's taste follows the look, not the smell. You get the citrus taste and slightly woody/piney notes as well.

This is a medium bodied IPA. Light carbonation and a very smooth aftertaste. I'd almost compare the feel to a wheat ale.

In Full Effect is a very solid beer. I enjoyed my pour enough at the brewery to bring a 4-pack home with me. It is just a slightly confusing beer. It looks hazy, smells mild and tastes like a lighter and brighter IPA. But all in all, In Full Effect is quite tasty and I order one whenever I visit Fort Nonsense.

Pours a hazy vibrant yellow-pale orange with a finger of tight white head. Aroma is a little muted but there is some citrus and maybe a hint of pine. Taste hits the same notes; citrus forward, some pine, smooth oats. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation, a little creamy. Overall a pretty tasty beer. This was my last can of the 4 pack and I think it was the best. It’s advertised as a Hazy IPA which in, in appearance, it is. After I disregarded the supposed style, or at least the connotations that go along with it, I really enjoyed this beer. It also helps that this has Simcoe hops which I love.
