16 oz. can. Date of 3-8-18. Aroma is tropical fruit, pine, orange marmalade. Flavor has mild juice with some Simcoe pellet in the finish. Good mouthfeel from the chewy oats. Bitterness is mild. Decent for sure.

Got in a BIF from MacMalt. 16 ounce can into signature tulip glass, canned on 3/8/2018. Pours opaquely hazy medium orange/amber color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of huge tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, white grape, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, honey, bread dough, toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Incredible aromas with fantastic complexity and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, white grape, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, honey, bread dough, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, white grape, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, honey, bread dough, toasted biscuit, nuttiness, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and slightly resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is nice. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.4%. Overall this is an amazing NE IPA! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Great soft mouthfeel for the style. A little too heavy on the biscuity Golden Promise malt character, but it's not overly sweet. Intensely juicy, vibrant, and lightly dank hop complexity; balanced bready malts. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example. Loved the hop profile as expected.

Draft at Cork City, 6/28/17. Murky orange, clean sheet of off-white head. Lemon zest, some candied orange, Good balance of lighter sweetness and bitterness on a flavor citrus rind flavored beer. Smooth, clean, light tingle on the close and a bit of dryness too. Pretty darn tasty. 8/4/8/4/15
Draft at La Isla, 4/20/18. Fully murky orange, not much head. Pineapple and grapefruit, a little tangerine. Juicy with a solidly dry finish. Nice, smooth feel. 7/4/8/4/16
