Very crisp, almost perfectly clear golden coloured body with a very thin, off-white head that fades very quickly and doesn't leave much up top at all. Aroma of bitter hops with some floral notes, a little citrus and an odd chocolate (milk) note on the maltiness right behind which is fairly noticeable and a bit robust. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and citrus flavours show at first with some lime notes, a dash of papaya and mangoes and a little bit of flowers right behind with some rather rich malts and sugars that provide a nice backbone and bring out a rich character at the finish. Aftertaste shows a lot of soured candy with some limes, mangoes, a bit of passionfruit and a light papaya note that adds to the richness and complexity at the end, with a dry grassy finish and a bit of malts that show through just about everything. Overall, a pretty nice IPA with some tropically notes along with a dash of mangoes, papaya and a lot of lime flavours with a good deal of bitterness and richness for the style with some pleasant bitterness throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Fairfield, California on 07-March-2022 for US$3,75 sampled in my hotel room here back in Fairfield, California on 11-March-2022 before heading home.

Part of a flight on 18th January 2022 in the San Juan Capistrano Selma's Chicago Pizzeria & Taproom. Clean and clear golden body, white topping. Tropical fruity little number with a sweetness initially, turning a little more bitter in the finish, light piney notes in the mix too.

Draught at Harry's Hofbrau. Pours a clear yellow with small white head that retains as a collar and slight dusting. Floral and tropical aroma is nice, yet subtle. Flavor is moderate tropical fruit. This is restrained in a lot of ways, which is a nice counterbalance to everything else these days. As you focus on the subtleties of this beer, you realize it is a gem.

Can from Craig, thanks for the hookup. Fairly clear golden in color with a good sized bubbly white head with moderate retention. Bready maltiness with plenty of earthy dank spicy citrusy hops. Pretty nice west coaster.

Tap. Pours light golden. Aroma is mostly tropical fruits, some grass and citrus in the background. Body is medium, quite intense, pleasantly bitterness, good residual sweetness, with a crisp carbonation. Fruity lingering palate, but this beer asks for more dryness. Good.
