This rating propels me up to Level 51. 16 ounce can from Laurenti’s ShopRite Liquors in Mercerville. Hazy orange pour. Small frothy beige head. Aromas of orange, melon, mango and lemon. Tangy tropical fruit flavors on first sip. Sweet orange, lemon, apricot, white wine and mango stand out. Moderate juiciness. A hint of citrus dank in middle. A bit pithy on backend. Pleasant enough, and certainly welcomed on a cloudy, rainy afternoon on the patio.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: thick dark yellow/bronzed orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: orange rind and orange juice with some red grapefruity character and some melon sweetness then a pinch of pine bitterness and some super light clean malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a bitter to bittersweet quality; finishes semi-sticky with grapefruity and orangey notes
Texture: medium bodied; leaning slightly towards being a sipper and I think that way because the hop bitterness assertiveness seemed not as low as it should've been; the carb level seemed fine
Overall: not a bad New Zealand IPA, the aromas really pop awesome, I will say that.
