Poured out of a 12 oz can into one of my pint glasses, this beer pours a mainly clear, light to medium golden color. Has a nice thick, fluffy looking white head that's well an inch thick when first poured. The head has excellent retention and great lacing on the inside of the glass. Also has many streams of little bubbles fairly rapidly and continuously rising to the beer's surface. Aromas of some bready, buscuity malts with a hint of zest that gives way to dank, piney, herbal, and citrus hops. The taste follows suit, with some brady and slightly zesty malts that gives way to big hop flavors with the aforementioned herbal, dank, citrus, piney, and floral notes all present in the hop profile. A bit of grapefruit and lemon flavors are found here along with grassy herbal, floral notes that's rounded out with a hint of dank bitterness. The hops sure do dominate the flavor profile here, and while the bitterness certainly more than makes it's presence known it is not overwhelming either. Has a fairly crisp, frothy, also smooth, medium to full bodied mouthfeel with light to moderate carbonation. Has a clean finish and all the aforementioned hop flavors linger nicely in the aftertaste.

Collaboration with Heinen's Grocery Store. Canned on 6/24/20. 12oz can poured into a tulip. Pours golden with nice clarity and transparency with bubbles racing upwards; big fluffy and chunky head that falls very slowly leaving great thick retention and sticky frothy lacing. The aromas are floral and citric. Some malts. The flavors follow the nose perfectly. More floral notes. More earthy citric notes, especially lemon. Some grapefruit as well. Some fresh grass in the mix. Some herbal notes. Subtle sweetness. Solid bitterness. Malts do their thing without dominating. Finishes on the drier side. Alcohol basically goes unnoticed. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. It's fluffy, smooth and easy to drink.

This is a solid IPA. It's a nice floral and citric example of the style. Solid hop aromas, flavors and bitterness. It might not be anything super crazy, but it's simply enjoyable and well executed. I like it.
