12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 11/7/2017. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy medium golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper, pine, cracker, white bread, light honey/biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper, pine, cracker, white bread, light honey/biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, cracker, white bread, light honey/biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a delicious American pale ale! All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the moderately bitter/resinous/drying finish, not aggressive. Very flavorful and not watery. Nice Citra/Azacca profile. Very juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; nice pale/Munich malt backbone for the ABV, with no residual sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Pretty blue can, or, should I say seafoam? Nice pour of a little haze on an off pale color. Smell iz mild IPA hops, without any sign of BO. Yes, hoppy from the start, wants to be a mild IPA on the palate. Typical taste characters of the ubiquitous heavier APA; all the rude attributes of common domestic ale is present. Finishes like any easy IPA.

12 oz can. Easy going pale ale, well balanced and paired well with my fish and sweet potato chips.

The name is better than the beer.

Draft at Barcade, 1/11/16. Clear gold color, sheeting head and fairly heavy lacework. Starts off fruity on both the aroma and flavor. Tropical, some melon as well. As the flavor closes a bit of a soapy note comes through, but otherwise it is pretty decent. Average mouthfeel and carbonation. Decently dry close. Okay overall.
