Reviewed from notes.
Can to snifter.
Appearance: glossy burnt yellow to orange cloudiness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: danky/hemp, big notes of white grapes, lots of floral hops, then some light grapefruity tones underneath; clean malts further down in there
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fair danky sweet to bittersweet combination; finishes danky oily with grapefruity and floral hop backings
Texture: medium bodied, leaning into being a sipper; some oily smooth tones with a bit of a hoppy tone to slightly grip the tongue
Overall: nicely done West coast styled DIPA or possibly a New Zealand styled DIPA I could return to.

Blik gedeeld door Keukeman, geprobeerd met Inoven en Roelzie. Het is een troebel oranje geel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een hoppige wat muffe geur met tonen van gist. De smaak is vol hoppig, fruitig en citrus achtig.

Tap. Unclear golden-orange color with white head. Aroma is dank, a bit yeasty, exotic fruits, nice pack of punch. Taste is the same, a bit murky, yeastcake, but enough fruitiness. Silky mouthfeel, soft carbonation.

Can (8/18/21) from The Beer Store, Nashua. It's a deeply hazy, honey-light brown with nice sparkle, finger-plus width white rocky foam head with excellent retention and sparse lacing. Aroma is moderately strong citrus, fruit and kiwi; mild crescent roll as it warms. Taste is kiwi, fruit with milder citrus and late hint of biscuit. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin, frothy texture, no sign of alcohol, soft carbonation and crisp, fairly dry finish as taste. Overall, pleasant enough but not a Lawson's classic by any means. Drinks a lot lighter than 8%.
