Pours a hazy, golden yellow, with smallish head. Aroma is marked by notes of citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor is citrus, tropical fruit, some grass, some hoppy bitterness. Lightly sweet. Soft mouthfeel. Good example of the style.

16 oz can from Norms, via jcos, thanks bud! Hazy orange, sheeting foam of white head. Dinking this on my new back patio enjoying a pretty much perfect summer evening temperature-wise. Grapefruit, peach, and resin. Lots of grass. Some buttery notes. Earth, spice. Slightly thin. Solid, but something is missing for me.

On draft at Dominion Wine and Beer. Pours a cloudy gold with an off white head. Aromas of tropical fruit. Flavors are moderately bitter citrus with some green onion notes. Tasty.

Can, with illegible date, drunk 5/24/18.
Heavily hazy, copper-to-golden. Large, full, well-retained, white head.
Nose is papaya, marmalade and lemon with a bit of vegetal-like Mosaic character (scallion/garlic). Peppery and not all that bright, though with cracker and light biscuit not disturbing the hops.
In the mouth, it continues with the bad veggie-scallion Mosaic character, but otherwise shows perfect carbonation, malt texture, attenuation and bitterness. No resin, no alcohol, no flaw. Man these guys are great. Scallion burns off a bit as it progresses leaving lime, pine and light honey in its wake. For a simcoe-mosaic-style IPA, which I never have very high hopes for, this is quite amazing (minus the scallion, of course). Looking at the commercial description, I see it's Equinox El Dorado, which I don't usually get a lot of vegetal/scallion from, though still don't particularly care for.

16 oz. can purchased at Ball Square Fine Wines and Spirits. Canned on 22 May, 2018. Another murkey, straw color with thin lasting head. Aroma is floral and decent showing of citrus. Flavor has the decent citrus, floral and light tropical hints. My major issue is the thin body. (Body on Here Goes Gravity was also very thin). Slightly above average for me.

Tap at taproom. Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Aroma has pine, grass and hemp. Medium-bodied. Flavour has grapefruit, grass, odd chalkyness and hemp. Flavour-combination doesn't work to me.
