16oz can from a 4-pk picked up at Mid Columbia Wine & Spirits, in Kennewick, WA, for approximately $20. No freshness date, but it's not particularly old. Here's SH's description:
"Q: Are we not fresh hops? A: We are Energy Cone! This Full Throttle Bottleworks collaboration IPA is unique, ahead of its time. 100% 2022 crop.
Wet Mosaic from Sauve and Son Farms, wet Mosaic from Cornerstone Ranches, wet Citra from Loza Farms; Fresh AF Pellets of Cornerstone Mosaic and Cashmere, Loza Farms Citra, and CLS Farms Zappa."

Apparently, Single Hill are really into Devo, which is represented on the label.

Poured into the glass, this was a chill-hazed golden amber color, with a good-sized white head that left lots of lace.

Nose reminded me of weed, citrus fruit, melons and had a bit of a scent a little bit like an onion.

Flavor was reminiscent of weed, grapefruit, honey dew melon, some light stone fruit, and a little bit of that onions thing noted from the nose (it's further down in the mix than the nose indicated, fortunately). In the background, midway through, a moderate grapefruity bitterness came out. Finished lightly bitter.

Slightly creamy mouth feel.

Decent, but not terribly compelling like some FH beers I've had. I might hit it again, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
