Pours clear gold into a willi. White head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Caramel and tangerine aromas. Crisp with sweet caramel and pine upfront turning to sucralose and lemon joy in the medium length soapy finish.

Hazy golden beer, thin white head. Aroma has grapefruit and bittersweet lemon. Flavour has grapefruit and grassy hop up front, pine, dry lemon, a bit of bittersweet orange. Quite floral and peppery in the finish. Crisp, refreshing and pretty punchy.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, fairly smooth, decent fine minerally carbonation coming through on the back end. Smooth pale malts, a light creamy sweetness, imparting a mild dryness as well. Hops are light cooling pine over a juicy smooth and reasonably bright citrus. Touch of citrus peel and whisper of skunk. Some tropical fruits on the back end. Light and semi dry finish. Clean, hop juicy and drinkable.

Can from Fonta Flora. Thanks Jason! Pours a clear gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates. Lovely nose of papaya, citrus and gummy bear aromas. Dried tropical fruit along with more gummy bear and pithy, piney bitterness on the finish. Clean and well-made.

Ever so slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a straw glow and a thinnish, off-white head that fades fairly quickly. Aroma of grass, flowers, pine, yeast, bread and a dash of grain with a lof of biscuity funk that makes this seem almost as a lager instead of an ale. Medium-bodied; Super grassy, floral and piney flavours at first with a good support from the malt and a hint of dryness with a lot of biscuity/yeastie and bready components towards the end that take away from the hops and light bitterness and replace them with a grainy bite and some subtle sweetness. Aftertaste is dry, herbal, grassy, light piney and robust, but in a pure East Coast IPA dynamic. There isn't much complexity and the malts drive the beer forward with a very subtle sweetness at the end, but more flavours are derived from the yeast and bread than any real hops, bitterness or alpha acids. Overall, a good enough IPA that clearly shows an old school East Coast IPA slant, for better or worse, but I prefer West Coast options or sadly New England variants. Still, nice to try and a welcome beer to sample who want to have a pure East Coast IPA, for sure. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 19-June-2020 for US$4,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 12-August-2020.

On tap at Hunah Day. Pours a hazy orange with medium frothy white head. The aroma is dank and grapefruit pith. Medium body, dank, grapefruit, lingering resin finish, very good.
