This is a thick, juicy and very aromatic pale ale. The mouthfeel is very similar to what one would expect from an Imperial IPA and in my opinion is the most distinctive feature of this beer. The Citra hops come through prominently but there are a ton of tropical aromas too.

Fresh can from the source. Hits the style in taste, but a bit watery and high carbonated, and powdery hop character. That'll not make this my favourite.

From a can dated 11/9…2023. Pours a opaque pale straw-yellow. Lovely tropical and citrus notes, along with dank hoppy notes. Smooth finish with nice bitterness. This is an extraordinarily flavorful pale ale. Excellent!

Sweet orange citrus, tropical hoppy, slightly malty, and a faint citrus-dank nose on this one! Taste follows with a...whoa, wait, what!? This is a pale ale?! Damn! So much flavor and body in a light package! And look at that color! Wow! If I am judging to style, there is not much more that can be done here...maybe a touch more hope expression? I dunno...outside of Monkish, I am not sure that there is a better hazy pale ale brewer out there. This is an outstanding/world-class pale ale!

Many thanks to tolar111 for this can!
A - Opaque light golden tan pour with dense creamy lacing.
S - Dank grapefruit, citrus and peach dominate the nose.
T - Definitely follows the nose with juicy and dank citrus, grapefruit, peach, passion fruit, some peppery citrus rind, mild citrus spiciness, and finishes with a low grade bitterness to round things out. Spicy citrus lingers on the palate for a good long time after the sip.
M - Big medium body, pillowy soft, and chewy.
O - This is a fantastic Pale Ale that's highly recommended.
