16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/17/2019. Pours sightly hazy deep golden/orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy 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 tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, caramel, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, caramel, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, caramel, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, nuttiness, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth. creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is a delicious wet hopped IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish. Nicely soft and not aggressive. Tastes like 100% Centennial hops. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a nice sized dark/bready Munich malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made Midwest style example. Reminds me of Founders Centennial a lot.

16 oz can from Tavour, 10/31/19. Murky / rusty darker orange color, thin head, lighter spotty lacing. Caramel, lemon, pine, earth, and honey. Notes of candied citrus on the finish. Decent mouthfeel. Clean and just a little sticky. Kinda grew on me as it warmed. 7/3/8/4/15 2nd can from Tavour on 11/17/19. Liking this even more the 2nd time. There's a nicer candied citrus / peach thing here I didn't score high enough the 1st time around. 7/4/8/4/16
