16 ounce can. Murky tan pour. Frothy beige head. Citrus hop nose. Tangy citrus flavor upfront. Notes of sour orange and grapefruit. Middle brings lemon and lime. Finish is more dank citrus and pine. Great lupilin leaps. Dry bitter finish.

From my brother: pours opaque orange with a white head. Aroma is piny and herbal. Taste is actually rather bitter. Nice body. Pretty solid.

Can (I think) at The Pony Bar, NYC. Pours a murky pale golden hue with a white head. Aroma and flavors of grapefruit, tropical fruit, citrus, pine, peach, light malts. Excellent.

Can: Poured a hazy amber color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of fruity hops notes with some citrusy undertones and light tropical notes is quite pleasant. Taste is also a great mix of hoppy notes of citrus, fruity and tropical undertones with light bitterness noticeable. Body is full with good carbonation. Solid APA with nice hoppy character.

Can into a snifter showing moderately filtered golden amber with sparse white foam. The nose shows moderately intense notes of pine, pineapple and hints of mango. The palate is medium bodied and moderately carbonated. Light flavors of pineapple with clean notes of subtle sweet malt in between. Surprisingly soft and with little sharp acidity. Mildly sharp pine bitterness on the finish.
