Can from Beer52. Hazy yellow-gold with a thin white head. Nice peach and tropical fruit whiff. More peach plus orange and grape skins in the flavour. Very nice and more-ish at first, but did get a little dull by the end. Decent overall though.

[12oz can from the Beer52 Virginia box.] A hazy pale amber pour with a loose white head; aroma of peach and apricot; fresh sweet fruity taste at first then nicely cut through by a bitterness like the fruit kernels. A very drinkable IPA.

12 fl oz (355ml) can via Beer52; BB 28th Jan 2021. Drank at home on 26th May 2020 during the virus Lock In. Hazed golden orange body, white foaming head. Tropical fruits in both the nose and taste with an orange bias and a grapefruit bitterness. Other citrus fruits also about in the flavour.

Tight bubbly white head stayed on a hazy dark golden still body. Orange, malt & resin aroma. Medium bodied, sharp on the tongue with a clean back. Bitter pith, orange, resin, malt pine & hoppy tastes with a long tangy finish. Straight up West Coast.

Quite hazy golden and peach coloured body with a nice, thick, four to five centimetre tall rich tan head. Aroma of grass, hay, flowers, dry malt, pepper and a dash of citrusey hops that show a soft, but large alpha acid presence. Light to Medium-bodied; Very dry, herbal and grassy flavours dominate with a big peppery bite and some supportive malt notes along with a dash of flowers and grain with an almost rye or specialty grain finish that shows more dry qualities than most on the style. Aftertaste shows the dry grass and hay first and foremost, but also some herbs and pepper towards the end with some lingering alcohol and alpha acids from the hops. Overall, a relatively balanced beer, with way more dry components than anything else, and definitely shows as an East Coast IPA, but not a bad one. Not worth trying to find as there are too many other beers in the style. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Trader Joe's in Newport News, Virginia on 17-November-2019 for US$2,00 sampled at home in Washington on 26-March-2020.
