Poured from a 16 oz can dated May 05, 2025.
Aroma is moderately fruity and hop forward with notes of melon (cantaloupe), papaya, guava, passion fruit and tropical citrus. Lighter dank, oily notes. Light cracker malt and alcohol notes.
Pours a hazy, murky, straw color with a large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers on the edges. Moderate lacing and small legs.
Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Medium bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong hop notes with a slightly bitter melon note being most prevalent along with lighter notes of papaya, guava, passion fruit and some lighter citrus notes. Light dank, oily notes.
Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid hazy IPA. Nice fruity hop notes, especially in the flavor. The aroma was slightly muted and the fruit didn't come through at first. Balanced sweetness and bitterness. Pretty easy drinking.

Sample at the tap room. This brew is a cloudy yellow color with a medium white head that burns away steadily to a film. Stringy lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops, melon and malt. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, cantaloupe, herbal hops and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a dank hoppy aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Growler. The beer is a medium to light gold. Just a touch of haze, maybe. Medium-small white head. Some lacing. The aroma has a whole bunch of lovely delicate fruit flavor action. It’s all sweetness and juice with a hint of dank citrus and mild onion, which actually clashes a bit. There’s melon, kiwi, rose, orange blossom. Very interesting light hop notes. I could do without the deeper grapefruit and onion edge to it, but it’s fairly mild. The taste is a bit sweet, but there’s good hop flavor and no bland bitterness to be found. Very mild bitterness overall. Mild to moderate malt sweetness, just simple fresh pale malt. Normal carbonation. Very easy to drink for the abv. It doesn’t work 100% for me, but it’s an interesting flavor and that’s always fun. Plus, it’s still super tasty.

Growler shared by Jack, thanks! Pours a clear light gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of dank citrus with a hint of onion and some sweet grain backing. Flavor has a good amount of dank citrus, light onion and some sweet grains underlying.
