12 oz. can in a trade with Heather_B for the 31 May, COVID-19 virtual tasting. It is a nice single hop Simcoe IPA. Fruit has been pulled from this hop and it shows a mild malt backbone. Pine is here but NOT resin. The texture is juicy to a point. Top tier for a single hop IPA.

Really well done.

A hazed milky orange ipa with floaties and a thin white head. In aroma, beautiful sweet fruity malt with smooth resinous citrusy floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light tropical fruits, very nice. In mouth, a big explosion of citrus, tangerine, resinous and piney hops, very nice. Can from À friend. About one year old.

Pours a slightly hazy, light golden-yellow, with smallish, fast-dissipating head. Aroma is very grassy, with some green onion, and pine/spruce hops. Flavor has grass, onion, pine/spruce, a touch of citrus. It's a good, simple, straightforward IPA.

Two-day-old can drunk 9/21/17.
Fluffy white head slowly recedes to cover atop a bright, golden, moderately hazy body.
Fresh, juicy, spicy, aromatic hops belie the usual resinous, pine-laced, austerity of Simcoe but instead divulge melon, strawberry and all sorts of lush green dankness. How they got this from Simcoe is a mystery to me. Malts behind are soft, showing a touch of balancing honey-like character while little/no resin nor any alcohol or flaw is noted.
Soft, incredibly juicy, again shocking given this hop, lush greenery in the flavor tastes like sucking on a fresh, juicy hop (despite raw hops certainly not being juicy or enjoyable). Just has a raw, fresh, rustic quality, vegetal and green with plentiful juiciness, even be it quite grapefruit and orange rind-heavy. Tight, immaculate carbonation and a soft, supple, well-attenuated malt body. Obviously he wanted to kick off the commencement of canning with a bang and indeed was it successful.
