Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: glossy amber/orange color with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some messy lace
Aroma: tropical fruit, some pine, citrusy hop tones and a light clean malt
Flavor: bittersweet and semi-zesty through the prior noted aromas; light aftertaste of the tropical fruit
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some hop grip on the tongue but nothing overbearing; finishes crisp with semi-zesty hop spice
Overall: good AIPA I would have again.

Very deep dark copper and bronze coloured body with a thick, three centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of bread, grass, light malts with some biscuits and a lot of yeastiness with a slight hit of floral and caramely hop notes with only a touch of alpha acid bitterness here at all. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong nutty and relatively caramely flavours show through first with only a touch of hops that give off a very small bitterness and some light grassy qualities, but nothing large or showing any alpha acids, but the malt and especially the yeastiness show much stronger. Aftertaste shows some bitterness and sweetness here from the caramelised sugars with only a touch of grain, but the hops, or at least the citrus components show much stronger at the end and provide a nice layer of flavour on top of the malt and sweetness. Overall, a decent enough beer that really shows more of an APA rather than even an older school East Coast IPA, but this one hits the citrus and especially the nutty/caramel flavours more than anything else. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased earlier in the day, a few hours ago, from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 04-November-2021 for US$3,32, sampled in my hotel room here in Lake Buena Vista, Florida on 04-November-2021 after eating with my family here in Disney World on 04-November-2021.
