It begins with two twelve ounce cans emptied entirely into a clear glass liter mug. Noticed immediately, it's pleasantly aromatic for a hazy. There's plenty of complexly resinous hops, with an acceptable assist from the starches. The look is cloudy apricot-amber in color, with a proper just-off-white head that sustains. The taste is moderately hoppy, with piney and tropical fruit notes and that's good. Unfortunately, the starches are only sweet and provide a decent body, but don't contribute much to the taste. But, there's enough flavor from the hops to make that a mild complaint. Like the glass lacing contribution to the visual, the starches add only modestly to the visual. Overall, it's a nice hazy, with a very good hoppy taste, but little more.

Interesting beer in that the fruit comes off as orange,tangerine and lime vs grapefruit and there isn't the usual pine resin.
Finishes more sweet than expected
Overall its a really nice beer

1st review of brewer, 8th of brew on BA. Starts promising in appearance with massive head and shaving lace.
s) Modest but love the round, melon, soft fruit flesh smells (vs citrus)
t) juicy melons, berries, with tempering bitter finale.
f) Juicy, clean.
o) Active and energetic like its name.

Picked-up a four-pack of cans at Ocean Beverage Discount Liquor in Brigantine New Jersey for an unknown amount. My first brew reviewed from these guys. Just ok.

Pours a very opaque pale with shades of yellow. Really nice fluffy thick initial head, settles to a nice thin layer of white froth, some minor lacing.

Aroma is candied oranges, peaches, and apricot. It has the slightest hint of dank on the end.

Taste is mostly on the citrus side of the aroma notes, along with a little bit of the apricot. It actually has a nice soft malt balance to it too.

Mouthfeel is medium, nice clean finishing ipa. It finishes pretty dry and has a nice noticeable bitterness to it.
