On tap @ 7th Ghetto Something anniversary. Pours hazy dark golden color with large creamy off-white head and nice lacing. Notes of orange, tropical and stone fruit, herbs, caramel and sweet toasted malt, smooth mouthfeel and bitter finish. Full body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Battle of the hops…

Can, thanks for sharing. Pours a near clear orange gold with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has melon and dank citrus with a bit of melon and sweet grains supporting. Flavor has melon and citrus with a touch of mango and some sweet grains backing.

Very hazy deep copper and bronze coloured body with a pretty nice two to three centimetre tall off-white head that caps the 90 per cent opaque glowing straw coloured body. Aroma of oranges, mangoes, light hay and grass, some slight herbal notes, but seemingly a good blend of sugars, alcohol and pungency, at least in the nose. Medium to Full-bodied; Deep and assertive hop notes and alpha acid bitterness comes out first with some pretty noticeable resin and floral, grassy finishes without much sweetness, but definitely a lot of astringency and a lot of dryness here - clearly showing more of an older school characteristic. Aftertaste is deep, dry, grassy and quite hoppy - with a nice alpha acid bitterness throughout, some pungent resinous flavours and some pine and grapefruit at the end, without any real sugars on the end of this. Overall, a nice beer that shows much more of an old school, West Coastie IPA than anything new school (fruity, easy-drinking, non-bitter, etc) aside from the unfiltered look...of course. Great to sample and I'm a fan of this, given it seems like 'The Haze' has finally LOST...aside from this being, actually...um...hazy. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Glen Ro Spirit Shoppe in Monroe, Connecticut on 25-November-2022 for US$4,49 packaged on 06-May-2021 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 22-January-2023.

Can, from Trader Joe's, Chicago (Oct 2023). Pours extremely hazy rich yellow with a small foamy off-white head, faint orange aroma, low carbonation, mildly bitter orange-mango taste, smooth thin body, long orange peel finish. Smooth and tasty.
