No canning date
Appearance: Pours a completely hazy (15% clarity) medium pale, orange color with a strong and hot white head. SRM of 7. (4.00)
Aroma: Strong of orange, white peach, white, Chi, and tropical melon. (4.00)
Flavor: Strong flavors of orange, sweet lychee, grape, pineapple and melon. Juicy and sweet. (4.00)
Feel: Heavier, bodied, appropriate, carbonation, finishes, juicy, tropical and sweet. A bit hot and burns a bit from the higher ABV. (3.50)
Compared to BlackStack Pseudoscience 9/24: Pours darker, similar head. Milder aromas. More orange, sweet lychee and melon. Less pineapple, white grape, and mango skins. Heavier, sweeter and more of a burn. Winner: BlackStack
Overall: Lots of New Zealand Nelson and Nectaron. Flavors of orange with some sweet lychee and grape. A bit heavier and burns a bit from the higher ABV. The ABV is a bit high for me, I tend to like IPAs sub 8.5%. Past that and it's very hard to make them not to hot or sweet. A good collaboration IPA. (Rating: 3.95)

From a 16oz can. Best by 01/25/25
This is a very hazy, juicy looking, murky pouring beer. It has the color of pineapple juice. There's a 2 finger fluffy looking white head. Head retention is pretty good overall.
The nsoe of this beer is very tropical in nature, and strong. I am getting a ton of mango in this beer. A huge hit of pineapple and grapefruit. Hintso of orange in this beer as well. The hop aromas are very pleasing.
Taste - The flavor isn't as strong as the nose let on. There's a smooth almost malty front to this beer. There's a hint of a dank flavor that starts off the hop parade. The dankness isn't overpowering, but it lingers. I get notes of melon in this beer. I do get a hit of pineapple and there's also some grapefruit and orange with a touch of mango. The flavor didn't start out strong, but it is quite complex.
The body is quite full. It is somewhat soft, and quite juicy feeling. Very smooth as well.
This is a damn delicious IPA, and I'm so glad I decided to buy the 4 pack at work.
