Poured from a 16 oz can dated February 04, 2026.
Aroma is hop forward and super fruity with tons of passion fruit, peaches, nectarines, guava, pineapple and mango. Lighter citrus notes and dank, oily resin. Light cracker malt and alcohol notes.
Pours a dull, hazy golden, straw color with a medium large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to the edges where it lingers. Fairly high lacing and small legs.
Flavor is fairly sweet with light cracker malt notes. Moderately strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Fairly strong fruity hop notes with lots of pineapple, passion fruit, stone fruit and guava. Lighter berry, citrus and dank, resin notes.
Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, an alright hazy IPA, but I found it to be too sweet for me with a strong pineapple juice note in the flavor. Hop aroma is really nice though and the alcohol is well hidden. Not particularly bitter, but there is a bit there to balance the sweetness.
