Poured into a 13 oz tulip glass canned on 7/15/25. Pours a very attractive hazy milky yellow with a finger sticky white head that leaves a thin wall of lace with excellent retention. 5
Aroma is peach, passionfruit, pineapple, papaya, tangerine, and apricot. 4.75
Taste follows peach, papaya, pineapple, passionfruit, and apricot extremely well balanced. 4.75
Mouthfeel is big for only 7%, soft gentle almost creamy carbonation, not sticky or dry, and drinks bigger in flavor, but so goes down insanely easy. 4.75
Overall this is one of the best single DDH IPAs I have had in while. Nearly perfect. 4.75

On tap, pours a very hazy orange. Smell and taste feature citrus and tropical fruit. Solid New England IPA, maybe a little generic. On the other hand, the can of Gone Camping from these guys was way up there with the greats. Just saying.
