Quid Pro Quo. We made this luscious DIPA with bright aromas of pineapple, fresh zested citrus, and pine from the big Sultana dry hop and in turn, we ask that you buy it and savor its tropical depth. It might even pair very well with fava beans.

On tap at brewery.
Floral, perfumy in taste and aroma. Not in a good way, unfortunately.
Everyone has their own likes and dislikes, so while I'm sure some enjoy this one, it's a no for me.

16oz can into a pint glass. No freshness dating.
Cloudy amber body. Small white head, decent lacing. Aroma mildly of over ripe fruit. On tasting, fruit hops come through first, then a strong piney bitterness. It is on the sweet side. Lasting finish leaves a warmth in the back of the throat.
Overall, there are some slight deficiencies in all categories. The brewery lists it as a hazy, and though it's cloudy, it's not the typical color of a NE hazy. Aroma is light. The bitterness level contradicts a NE hazy, as does the level of resin.
For all that, the overall taste isn't bad. Kind of a NE/WC hybrid.

The above was pasted off the Shy Bear Website. Sorry. their description did not match experience.
Both the aroma and the taste had a chemical presence that just did not sit well with me.
