Lighter tasting IPA with a beer with an ABV of 7%. Slightly bitter, hazy and tropical.

Love this beer

16oz can into a pint glass. Canned 9/16/25, so a little over 3 months old.

Pale hazy dull yellow body. Small white head persists throughout, excellent lacing. Aroma is mildly fruity. On tasting, fruity favoring the citrus side. Light in body. There is a pleasing bitterness foe balance.

Overall, nice ipa, sessionable on this side of the pond. Could enjoy a couple more.

Two twelve ounce cans emptied entirely into a clear glass liter mug showed a hazy liquid, light copper-amber in color. It's on the dull side, but it's not entirely opaque. The stark white head was overly frothy, but there are far worse offenders. For the better, the aroma is a pronouncedly pleasant blend of malt and hops, with some citrus and pine characters. The taste is pleasant, but not outstanding. The starchy sweetness runs superficially, depriving this from an earthy backbone so necessary for an IPA to be considered among the elite. Everything else works, as the body is just right and there's a very pleasant hop taste transition from slightly citrusy tart to downright piney and dryly bitter through the finish. Even the glass lacing is commendable, leading to questioning how the sweetness got so annoyingly one dimensional. Overall, this is thumbs up, but a more earthy malt contribution, perhaps from more or different barley, would make this a real contender.

 

Good IPA. Juicy, fruity and moderate bitterness. Poured from a 16 oz. can into a pint glass, this beer featured a hazy light gold body and a medium sized foamy white head with thick bands of lacing and good head retention. Aroma and taste were primarily tropical fruit and some citrus (mild lemon and lime). Mouthfeel was juicy and somewhat crisp, with fairly good level of bitterness. Enjoyable.

 

Drinking out of a large snifter.
Pours a somewhat hazy light orange with a very full frothy head.
Smells had traces of oranges.
Nice smooth, full mouth feel.
Strong fruity taste. Oranges, tangerines.
Little bitterness.

 

 

L: perfect hazy look. Great sunshine yellow color, quite hazy, decent head that hangs around for a but.
S: pretty traditional - citrus forward hops, tropical fruit
T: right off the bat you get a wallop of citrus, tropical fruit, a tiny bit of pine; then the red berry comes singing through very clearly, bit of an oat flavor too that mellows it a bit. Then a fairly long finish where the hops / mild bite helps balance the fruit, though still get some of that red berry on the back end. I personally really like this flavor, but the only qualifying point I’d have on it is it’s not as “balanced” as some, it clearly airs more fruit-forward and won’t be a fit for some fans who really want a dank hop flavor or a more crisp piney sip.

F: exceptional mouth feel, really rolls around like a cloud. Perfectly carbonated, there’s a softness to the mouth feel. Nailed this.

O: Really nice hazy, juicy / fruit forward beer; if you like this style you’ll love it (and personally I’m a fan). That said, hops are relatively mild so if you’re looking for something with more bite or a bit more dank / pine flavor, or something with more of a crisp finish, this won’t be the beer for you.
