Trying out of my usual style choice here. Definitely hazy, pours with a good but short-lived head. Aroma is typical IPA with a bit of citrus. Opening taste is bitter=led. Unsweetened orange juice, hops are real subdued. Good enough, but not going to be a draw to the style for me.

I got a 6pck of cans of this beer from my local meijer store. It poured a hazy golden with white head that is leaving a nice lace. The scent had subtle dank tropical citrus fruit presence. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with sweet malt base with slightly bitter tropical fruit presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a hazed orange-amber color with a small head of white foam. The head has a decent retention, fading over time and leaving a moderate level of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is strong of a mix of melon, papaya, and guava, paired with a bit of white bread and some notes of oat. There is also a moderate showing of a floral hop and hibiscus, along with a touch of grapefruit and pine.
Taste – The taste begins with a white bread malt and biscuit malt backbone mixed with a touch of oat and some light tangerine sweetness. There are some floral and herbal hops upfront, both of which grow a bit stronger as the taste advances. Some melon and a light pepper and yeast develop as the taste advances, and with a bit of hay and chalk at the very end, one is left with a rather moderate and mild, but quite approachable, and more dank taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body is thicker for an only 4.2 % abv brew with a middle of the road carbonation level.
Overall – An interesting session to say the least, but one I could certainly get behind. It has a very unique taste and smell profile. Defiantly a brew people should at least give a try to.
