A cloudy pour from 12 oz can with hefty dose of oranges and tropical fruits. Punchy.

Backlog. Hazy pour with a very fruity aroma. Tropical and citrus fruit. The flavor is very low bitterness for an iipa. It’s pretty sweet even for a hazy iipa. Full bodied. Fruit and resin.

Pours hazy yellow with a fluffy white head. Aroma of clementine, lemongrass. Taste has acerbic citrus, resinous hop oil. Palate has much of the same, some orange on the nose, continuation of the same.

Green onion and some orange. Caramel and some booze. Murky yellow pour with decent head. Hop tang finish with some booze. Hop creep, and unbalanced booze here. Thin body. Can.

Hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall, just off-white head. Aroma of relatively strong and bitter hops with some juice noticeable from oranges and mangoes along with a grassier and herbal finish, with some alcohol, light sugars and a good dose of malt all coming through in the nose. Medium-bodied; Strong, pungent hops dominate the flavour with a lot of bitterness, some herbal and grassy dryness and a solid malt backbone that makes this balanced and the sweetness from fruits pokes through hear the end, all with a good deal of complexity and range. Aftertaste is bitter of course from the hops, but a pleasant dry malt and solid backbone make this a well-brewed Imperial-ish IPA, but the choice of hops and profiles from them aren't my favourite, especially from this brewery which has better beers, in my opinion, at least. I sampled this slimline, twelve ounce can, purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 12-August-2020 for US$2,79 sampled after cutting my grass at my house here in Washington on 18-September-2020.

Tasty, juicy burst of mandarin, peach, berry, and passion fruit on the front end, coupled with a mild grainy sweetness and subtle earth notes, but then...nothing. The beer just kinda fades into bland, berry-dusted emptiness on the finish, lacking any bitterness or strong hop notes, instead finishing with a mild, slightly dry, slightly mineral-ish featureless fade. Weird, especially for a double IPA. Comes across almost as an imperial session IPA. Eh.

Pours a dirty, orange-gold, with minimal head. Aroma has some citrus and grassiness, but also a strong oil-gas note as well. Flavor is grassy and oily-gassy. Some biscuit and maybe, just maybe, a touch of citrus fruit as well (it's a stretch). Some bitter, pine/spruce hops in the finish.

Can. Very dirty orange, 2cm white head. 3- Tropical breakfast juice aroma with some chewed bread and herbs. Verging upon watery. Lowish carbonation. Fruity but with quite unpleasant earthy herbal and grass clipping notes. Dryish finish is not very bitter. There were some unpleasant things here but the idea that it's nearly 8% alcohol is stunning.

Can. Pours hazy lemon yellow with foamy whitish head, sharp lemon peel aroma, adequate carbonation, sweet lemon peel taste with mild bitterness seeping in, with mango/stinky cheese flavor, somewhat thick body, long finish. Very good brew.

12 ounce can. Cloudy yellow tan color. Small foamy beige head. Dank citrus hop nose. Bittersweet citrus hops, bready malt and resiny pine. A lupilin powerhouse that is complex, with juicy, resiny symptoms. Quite delicious, quite nice.
