Pours lightly hazy with a huuuuge head. A head like that is often not a good sign. It has some of that off smell to go with it and maybe some citrus. The flavor is moderately bitter with some bready malt. It could be worse given how it starts. There’s only a little off flavor thankfully so it’s not bad, but it could be better.

Earthy pine, grapefruit peel and biscuit malt aroma. Yellow with large head. Mildly sweet lemon, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter/earthy pine and grapefruit peel flavor. Good body. Very nice.

Not a bad IPA, but overcarbonated and a bit one-note, with a big Southern Hemisphere hop juiciness but not much else. White grape, grapefruit, melon, and earth are prevalent, but the malts are lacking, providing a modicum of grainy balance before giving way to a moderate bitterness on the finish. Again, a decent enough beer, but leaves you wanting more depth. Pours a pretty hazed gold with a fluffy white head and good lacing. Not a huge fan of the texture; spiky feel could use some padding. Drinkable, but it's easy to find better.

Can Pours a odd golden tan color with a slight haze and a nice foamy head. Aromas are pretty bland... maybe a touch of citrus, pear and white grape juice, but that's a stretch. Flavor has a decent punch of citrus (orange/lemon mix... kumquat?) up front, followed by a fade to malt and then a touch of resin. Pretty nice beer, all things told. Kind of a light and citrusy IPA.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 4/5/2018. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, white grape, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, white grape, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, white grape, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 6%. Overall this is an outstanding IPA! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, never aggressive. Really impressive improvement over the original, a lot less malty. Galaxy, Mosaic, and Nelson Sauvin hops. Extremely juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; solid pale/wheat malt backbone, with no residual sweetness. A highly enjoyable offering, loved the hop profile as expected.
