Got in a BIF from beerloserLI. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, no canning date. Pours fairly crystal clear bright golden yellow color with a 2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, light pine, light honey, bread, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/tropical hops, and moderate pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, light honey, bread, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Good amount of piney/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, lemon/orange peel, pine, light honey, bread, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity and robustness of citrus/tropical hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and moderately sticky/resinous mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice IPA. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical hops and moderate pale malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.
