16oz canned 5-10-23, opened 6-17-23.
2+ finger white head with excellent retention after an aggressive pour. Thick lace. Orange-gold and opaque body.
Oranges in the nose with a bready malt undertone.
Citrus up front with a bit of tropical late and some zesty grapefruit notes - but muted overall.
Medium-plus body and moderate carbonation.
Mild bitterness and soft mouthfeel. Lengthy finish with a touch of sour orange and mostly dry finish.
Standard NEIPA fare - well made; however, nothing stands out at all in the flavor or aroma.
Good.
3rd can a month later on 7-16-23. Surprised to say it's in a better spot for my palate...more intense/zesty flavors, bumping this one up a notch.

Milky orange/gold pour, thin but creamy head, trailing some lace. Nose is citrus and tropical.
Taste is ruby grapefruit, pineapple, light kilned malt, guava, soft oats. Pillowy moythfeel. Finish has a little lime zest added to the mix.

Poured from a can into a tulip glass. Murky bright yellow color with decent white foamy head and good curtain lacing. Pineapple and grapefruit smell and taste. Sharp finish but a bit thin and watery at the finish. Right amount of sweetness. Decent beer.

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance – The beer is served a super hazy murky yellow color with a small head of white foam. The head fades very fast leaving a touch of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is heaviest of a bready and malty aroma mixed with some herbal and grapefruit hop. Along with these aromas comes some smells of tropical fruits of pineapple and tangerine.
Taste - The taste begins with a bready malt flavor mixed with the hop flavors of herb and grapefruit that were in the nose. The taste is rather dry in sweetness, with just a touch of orange and caramel sweetness on the tongue. As the taste advances an earthy hop gets stronger and stronger, with some grassy and more herbal hop coming in. A little bit of yeast develops along the way, and with more loss of the sweet, one is left with a bready but drier and decently dank hopped taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew was thicker and chewier with a carbonation level that was lower. For the nature and the style the feel was pretty good and made for a nice sipper.
Overall – A rather decent hazy IPA, being slightly more malty, but not too sweet. Nothing too exceptional, but decent none the less.
