Sunset gold w/ carrot orange inlay. Spotty lacing forms around a crest of rocky-white foam. Pleasant aromas of peach, pine, white grape, lemon peel, blueberry, floral notes leaning on rose, faint cracker, and pineapple rock candy. Taste follows w/ amplified passionfruit, sweet peach, spicy apricot, and a plethora of tongue-quenching tropical notes. The finish is so balanced I can't stand it. I'm sending a can to Mary Lou Retton for her opinion.

Handsome pour with a big pile of foam on the dark yellow gold brew. Very aromatic with citrus and Roses lime juice. Initial carbonation flattens out as you sip. Quite sweet and seriously fruity, but rather acidic as well. Moderate bitterness. Fruity aromatics last to the end and into the aftertaste. Maybe it's the Nectaron hops that give it the peach and apricot flavors. The usual orange peel finish. Overall this is a better than average big-hop IPA. From the 16 oz can purchased at Bine & Vine. Dated 11/24/25, which would make this just a couple weeks old.
