Can pour - less than clear yellow/gold color, short white head, foamy lacing. Nose is citrusy and resiny with floral notes. Taste follows more or less. A solid and tasty IPA.

Gold pour, not quite clear, quick head that goes to patchy but does leave decent lace. Nose is resiny and fruity.
Taste pushes citrus, resiny pine cones, some kiwi, light kilned malt, hint of berry. Slightly oily mouthfeel. Finish sees blueberry and that dank resin drop the final calling card.

Strong citrus aroma with floral notes.
Flavor follows nose, plus some pine.
Not much hop bitterness.
Overall a very good beer, much better than its 87 rating on here had me expecting.

What can I say? Have never met an IPA I didn't like. (So that's the level of expertise we are dealing with here.) But in all seriousness, this is a solid beer. Kind of floral. Less on the hoppy side. Goes down smooth but packs a lunch on the flavor front.

16oz canned 5-23-23, opened 6-24-23.
3 finger white head, dense and long-lasting. Clean, golden body. Thick lacing.
Ripe citrus, orange peel, zesty lime - strong, appealing aroma.
Lime and zestiness is at the forefront, pine and green appears in the flavor along with some late melon.
Light body, bright entry, medium carbonation. Persistent and well balanced bitter hop punch in a flavorful finish.
Outstanding.
