From can to pint glass. Turbid yellow with large, sustained heat tha is billowy. A bit of yeast funk on the aroma. Wheat, cracker and lemon. Flavor is lemon pledge. Dry finish.

10/II/19 - 1Pt. can from a trade (bought at San Diego Wine and Beer Co.), shared @ home, BB: n/a, canned: XI/28/18 - (2019-223) Thanks to Surya for the trade!
Little cloudy bright blond beer, big creamy irregular yellowish head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: pretty fruity, lemony, lots of citrus, some tropical fruits. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: tropical fruits, grapefruit, bitter, more tropical fruits, mango, nice stuff! Aftertaste: pretty bitter, tropical fruits, bit grassy, hoppy, dry finish, grapefruit notes. One of the coolest label designs ever (including the multiple layer stickers).

Can from Corti Bros. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is a bit reminiscent of sweat - so it's citrus with a mix of mostly tropicals. Med body. Flavor is juicy, tropical. Citrus/mango/melon/more ... Juicily undry. Very fruity/hoppy. Decently bitter. Brut? For me more a NE IPA. Still, it's the impact that counts, and this is really tasty ale.

Can from the brewery: pours moderately hazy with a white head. Aroma is fruity... citrus mostly plus some ambiguous berries. Taste is very lightly bitter, fairly dry, but some sweetness gets in. Pleasant malty backbone. Good body and nice mild flavor. Pretty good.

Got in a trade with RaulMondesi. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/20/2018. Pours very hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, orange juice, lemon, lime, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tangerine, orange juice, lemon, lime, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, lemon, lime, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately cream/bready/grainy, sticky/resinous/rindy, and fairly crisp balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 7.1%. Overall this is an incredible IPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish; not overly aggressive. Kind of a cross between NEIPA and Brut. Amazing Citra, Centennial, Motueka profile. Extremely juicy, and fairly dank/earthy hop complexity; nice bready spelt/malt backbone, with minimal residual sweetness from crisp/resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing style example as expected.
