From a 6-pack picked up at Growlers on Main in Polson, MT
12oz can poured into a Fat Head's nonic pint
P gold/orange w/ a slight chill haze; small white head that quickly receded to a ring
N soft aroma of light fruitiness; peach and nectarine notes stand out
T light bready malt carries passion fruit, citrus, earthy melon, and pineapple notes; finishes with some dank earthiness that lingers; decent flavor
Mf med to med-full bodied w/ med-high prickly carb; could stand to be just a touch less carbonated
O not a bad IPA- nice fruity and dank elements; with that being said, it didn't quite come together for me all the way; would probably pass on it in the future in favor of other options

Received a can courtesy of @muchloveforhops3, thanks Doug! Received 2-16-24 with no can date; consumed 4-7-24. Cold stored since acquisition.
Beer poured gold with a nice white head with the original pour.
Nose is nice, full of tropical and floral hops.
Taste is very good, the lighter pale malt base lets the hops speak and i am getting strawberry and passion fruit. Finish is west coast like with the mosaic bringing a nice pine bitterness; 7/10 on my bitterness scale.
Mouthfeel is both refreshing and very smooth.
Overall this is a super clean and flavorful IPA, so happy to have tried!

Appearance: Pours a clear golden color with a two finger head; strong retention and a wall of lacing
Smell: Cracker malt aromatics, with a toffee element; complemented by earthy hops which provide some melon tones, as well
Taste: Malt forward, with a cracker flavor and hints of toffee and melon; through the middle, the hops bring some earthy bitterness to close out the profile
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate to high carbonation
Overall: The can describes this as a cross between a NE and a West Coast IPA but I have been around long enough to remember the old East Coast IPAs and that is what I was reminded of before I even noticed the wording on the can; pretty decent, though I would like just a bit more bitterness; easy to drink for sure
Thanks, JohnGalt1, for the opportunity
