Can, no date, shared by Stacey on 3/24/18.
Bronze maize golden, thick and borderline soupy. White head is small, dense, slowly fading to ring.
In the nose it's rich with honey, light caramel, strong biscuit and fruity yeast as well as strong NE IPA notes of mango-lime and rich pineapple. Not sharp or resinous with plentiful bubble gum-like ester integrated pretty well with the hops.
In the mouth it's "thick" and creamy with rich biscuit, cracker and honey-like malts helping to pronounce the fruity, juicy hops. Bubble gum, light melon and pine with grapefruit and nectarine adding a touch of dryness. Soft, well-carbonated and pretty well-attenuated, though it does present a sweeter type of IPA, though I think that's mostly perceived due to the juicy hops, fruity yeast and rich malts.

Got in a trade from spelingchampeon. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 5/7/2018. Pours very hazy/cloudy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.2%. Overall this is an excellent IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not aggressive. Nice showcase of Citra/Mosaic. Very well balanced vibrant, dank, earthy, and juicy hop complexity; nice pale/wheat malt backbone, with minimal residual sweetness. Not quite an NEIPA, but about halfway to it from a West coast style. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

12 oz. can without a date code. (but roughly 3 weeks old) thanks to Stacey. Hazy brighter yellow color. Aroma is bright passion fruit, tangerine, and mild grass. Good amount of brighter fruits with an easy, soft mouthfeel. Bitterness is on the mild side with a juicy character. Ends on a dry texture. Nice IPA

Crowler from Vin. Tasted about a week after delivery. It pours a light yellow gold color with a frothy white head. The aroma has bright citra-like grapefruit and passionfruit. The flavor is the same with a hint of honey and almond (oxidation?) Lots of big citrus and passionfruit. Medium bitterness. The maltiness is low, but it has a nice supportive mouthfeel. Can’t help but think this one may have gone down hill a bit in the crowler. Still very enjoyable though.

Crowler sent my way by Vin - thanks! Drunk and rated back around the end of November and promptly backlogged. Pours cloudy golden orange, large creamy off-white head, dissipates slowly, nice lacing. Aroma is tropical citrus, mango, pine and limes. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter, totally juicy and crushable. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Nectar quality. Moar.
