4.24/5  rDev -3.2%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
Pale amber color, slight bit of hop haze. Pours a nice white head, creamy and long lasting.

Very fruity aroma with orange and pineapple - a bit of a creamsicle.

Has a nice slug of caramel malt flavors up front to compliment the hop flavors, which have more of an earthy/pine component than I got from the aroma. Still some hints of orange and fruit, but is muted. Has a nice, aggressive earthy bitterness to the finish. Much more "old school" IPA than I expected based on the can description.

Medium body and carbonation. No astringency or warming, but does have a bit of a drying lingering bitterness.

I like the flavor and aroma of this generation of QS, but not a huge fan of the unpleasant lingering bitterness on the tail end of the finish.

Amber with chill haze, big white head, nice retention and lace.
Lots of tropical hop aromas- mango, pineapple, passionfruit, lychee, green grape, sweet citrus, muskmelon
Tastes like it smells, a bit of lightly toasted marshmallow and caramel malt flavors
Medium bodied with good carbonation.
Pretty good.
