Vic Secret heavy IPA featuring aromas of pineapple juice with underlying hints of perfume. Tropical fruit notes meld with some herbal spiciness on the palate. Complex finish with notes of citrus pith, hints of currants, and sticky resin.

Poured from 16oz can into a dimpled mug. Canned 12/14/21.
Appearance: medium orange hue with a moderate haze and what look to be a ton of teeny, tiny floaties. Head is two thick fingers of frothy ivory foam -- I think it looks outstanding!
Smell: lightly sweet with a hint of soft, tropical hops, and a a soupçon of sharper, tangier hops. Not too bad.
Taste: hops are a little bit more forward in flavor, and of the slightly tangier, fruity variety, with grapefruit and maybe a bit of mango present. Bitterness is soft, but definitely present. Perhaps a hint on the sweet side, but still quite nice indeed.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent level of carbonation and creaminess.
Overall: I like this beer; it's a decent American west-coast style IPA.

A: The beer is hazy yellow in color. It poured with a finger high fluffy white head that has very good retention properties and hardly died down.
S: Moderate aromas of honeydew melon are present in the nose along with notes of pineapple. As the beer begins to warm up, the aromas of pineapple become stronger compared to those of the melon.
T: The taste has flavors of pineapple along with notes of honeydew melon. Little to no bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels nearly medium-bodied and somewhat juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This IPA sure does showcase the aromas and flavors of the Vic Secret hops but hardly has any bitterness compared to other beers in the style.
Serving type: can
