This beer pours almost hazy gold straw color. The head is medium and dissipates rather quickly. The aroma is tropical fruit and hops with a touch of malt. Mouthfeel is light. The taste is almost dank with a slight bitterness at the finish that stays with you for a while. This is a good beer, but not great. Rated 1-16-2023 65 IBUs

Fun to try as part time of a seasonal variety 12 pack. I’ve had a couple cans and these are pretty tasty. Smooth to drink with great mouthfeel. The nose is not that big with only faint citrus and pine. The taste is better and I liked it. I get malt and some pine with very little bitterness. Not sure I will see this out but happy to have tried.

Clear yellow, white head, good retention, streaky lacing
Aromas of citrus, light tropical fruit, and pine needles
Pine a bit more upfront, grapefruit zest flavors
Medium light bodied and appropriately carbonated
Well made, but forgetable

Look: Slightly opaque yellow and my pour invigorates a sudsy white head to rapidly form and settle to a lid, leaving nice lacing behind
Aroma: Peach, lemons, orange flesh and peel, apricots, floral notes, bready malt, and wafts of berries
Taste: Peach and apricots get it going and develop nicely as a rush of orange-led citrus fruit follows and joins in. Lemons stand out along with light berry and some bright floral notes that hold the middle until citrus, apricot, and peach return for the close, along with a light bite
Mouthfeel: Light but full, clean, medium-high carbonation, and a clean finish with a kiss of dryness
Overall: I dig it. As a huge fan of the substyle, I’ll try any Cold IPA I see and this is another good one. Unique with its peach/apricot heavy flavor and aroma profile but with the same clean feel and slightly dry finish as these seem to have and something I really enjoy about them. Tasty stuff
