Nice, pillow head that looks like a cloud,
Tight lace with a hazy orange amber color with some sediment.
Aroma of pineapple, mango, orange, grapefruit with piney hops upfront followed by some tiny malts.
Smooth, citrus finish with a creamy mouthfeel with some bitter hops in finish.
Medium to full body DIPA. Really good balance. Good carbonation.
Aroma surprises you with this being like a West coast IPA homage, but smelling like a NE DIPA.
Awesome beer.

Pours a hazy yellow orange. Great head retention. Mango, pineapple, papaya, and orange rind on the nose. Initial sip yields some orange and some grapefruit. Oily citrus resin. The main body has some nice dole pineapple, mango character to it that is cut nicely by that citrus character. This isn't a one hit wonder band. This show is tight. Maybe not The War On Drugs tight, but it's really well integrated and executed. No hop burn either, which I fear greatly when trying IPAs from a newer to me brewery. Well done, Spyglass!

Damn tasty stuff from these folks for sure. Only my 4rd offering from this brewer, but wow am I looking forward to trying more! This is a juicy, barely-bitter, well-balanced NEIPA that hits the right notes and balanced with a terrific malt backbone to complement the hop profile for my tastes.

16oz can dated 11/3/22.
Pours turbid yellow with two inches of rocky white froth. Plenty of tattered lacing and persistent retention. Big peach and orange in the nose. Medium bodied with a creamy, fluffy mouthfeel. Orange, peach, and mango on the palate. Finishes juicy with minimal malt or bitterness.

Poured into a 12 oz open mouth glass canned in the last two weeks. Pours a beautiful milky yellow with a finger sticky white head that leaves a thin wall lace, with excellent retention. 4.75
Aroma is cantaloupe, mango, passionfruit, mandarin, pineapple, and apricot. 4.5
Taste follows cantaloupe, mandarin, pineapple, passionfruit, mango, and apricot. 4.5
Mouthfeel is above average, not sticky or dry, soft creamy carbonation, and at 8.4% it is big on flavor, but easy going down. 4.5
Overall this is pretty damn impressive, I would highly recommend this one for sure. 4.5

Can from tfontana, thanks for the trade.
Hazy golden orange in color with a huge frothy white head that persists. Dripping with citrus and tropical fruits. Faint sweet bread to back it up. Really tasty.
