16oz can pours a pulpy orange with some lacey white head. Nose has orange and apricot, some melon, perfume. Some grain and straw. Flavor has potpourri and flowers. Some citrus but some stone fruit too. Juicy? Maybe. Medium bodied, off dry, and I guess the juice is there.

[16oz can from Beer52.] A slightly hazy amber pour with a loose creamy head; fruity tangerine aroma that drifts around the room; woody in the mouth to start then a bitter orange taste emerges with a sweet malty body - like a good vintage marmalade, then a gentle warmth and some piney touches to the finish. This is the sort of IPA I like - forget about the milkshake and the tropical fruit.

1 Pint can (little US 16 fl oz or 473ml, take your pick) from Beer 52. Canned 19th Feb 2019, drank at home on 27th Apr 2019. Cloudy and murky body with floaters, the colour a dull orange affair, some off-white foam on top. Dank hops with an orange like lead in both the aroma and taste, light malty base and more than a hint of resin/spruce flavours as it warmed a little in my glass.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 11/14/2018. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/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, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey, 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 no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7%. 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 modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Awesome Cascade, Centennial, Chinook, Columbus, Simcoe, Vic Secret profile. Very juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; great bready malt backbone, minimal residual sweetness from lingering resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive style example. Feels like a East/West coast hybrid.

Draft pour at Jimmy's Culpeppers. Appearance is murky, dark orange/light brown with light yellow, unable to discern sparkle, nice finger-width creamy, foamy, white head with good retention excellent lacing. Aroma was grapefruit and pine. Taste as aroma, strong flavors. Palate is medium bodied with thick texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, not terribly complex, but nice bold flavors if you're into grapefruit and pine, with balance of bitter and sweet.

Sample at the taproom. Hazy golden color with a medium thin white head that burns away steadily to a film. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of piney hops, citrus and malt. Medium body with flavors of resiny hops, grapefruit and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a pine and hop aftertaste. Above average overall.
