A hazy American IPA brewed with oats and finished with Falconer's Flight, Citra and Galaxy Hops.
Hazy in color, smooth by nature and free flowing by choice.

Draught @ Waterfront Ale House. Cloudy rich yellow with very small frothy whitish head, sharp piney aroma, medium carbonation, medium bitter taste with strong piney flavor, thin body, long hoppy finish. A classic American IPA.

12oz can pours a mostly clear orange gold with some frothy, rocky, lacing white head. Nose is quite nice, grassy, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, hints of tropical fruit. Flavor is again grassy, straw, some light grist, lemon, orange, mild soap, mild pine. Finishes dry, lightly bitter. Very nicely done.

Pours slightly hazed gold into a Sam glass. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving soapy lacing. Tangerine and weed aromas. Sour hot caramel and stale citrus upfront turning to bitter resin and pith in the lasting finish.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from One Stop Market. Appearance is hazy dark yellow with orange, nice sparkle and finger-width foamy white head with decent retention and loads of soapy lacing. Aroma is tropical fruit, citrus, light grapefruit. Taste is sweet grapefruit with tropical fruit, citrus. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, lively carbonation and mostly sweet finish with light bitterness at the end. Overall, bursting with sweet fruity hop flavor that is satisfying, not cloying.

Fresh can(9/30/16) thanks Willrunforbeeron this share. Aroma is mild caramel, grapefruit, earthy floralness.
Flavor is pretty much classic IPA. Grapefruit, caramel malty base, floral and light pine Bitterness. Pretty good but not breaking my neck to drink more of it.

12 oz can from Milk and Hops-Chelsea. Slightly hazed orange pour with a frothy foam of off-white head and some heavy lacework. Resiny and fruity hops, orange, grapefruit, and pine. Some melon. Gets dry quick, and finishes long and bitter. As a certain terrible Presidential candidate would say, it's bigly dry. Pretty good.

Bottom of the can stamped 10/03/16.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-hazy burnt yellow to almost orange color with a thin white foamy head that dissipates pretty quickly. Messy stringy lace.
The aroma takes sweet apricot, sweet pulpy orange, lemon pulp sweetness and then some citrus rind. Some pineapple. Sly use of malts slide in for a balance.
The flavor leans pretty sweet initially, but with a little bit of warming starts to get rind-like bitter. Bitter rind-like aftertaste and semi-quick bitter finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionable feel about it. Sly smoothness.
Overall, mostly solid AIPA, could be a nice go-to every now and again.
