Can thanks to Brian. Pours slightly hazy golden orange, small off-white head, decent lacing. Aroma is is urine, cabbage, lemons, grapefruit. Flavor is medium sweet, light bitter, harsh, acidic. Medium body. Hmmm.

Might be a good IPA if it weren't for the cloying Fruity Pebbles/Froot Loops sweetness that eventually overtakes the pint. Starts with a moderately grainy, citric hop front, then slowly amps up the sugary onslaught, fake fruit flavoring melding with lactose, yeast, and juicy hop notes. Overwhelming, to say the least. Finishes with a cloying swipe of citrus and berry. Pretty much undrinkable after it warms. Gimmicky, but shame on me for buying it, I guess.

12 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours very murky medium orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly foamy and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Good appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper/pine, caramel, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate dark/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, caramel, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, caramel, biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is a great IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Great mix of juicy, vibrant, and dank hops; balanced malts, with no residual sweetness. A very enjoyable offering. Can't really taste any of the cereal; but the artificial colors are listed on the can, and are somewhat noticeable in the beer.
