We struggled to find the word to describe the flavour of this super juicy, hazy IPA. After some testing, we decided it could only be described as… awesome.

Soft lemony hops aroma, has okay light clear yellow body with some minimal foam. Flavour is mellow hops and it's all a little thin. Mouthfeel is still too thin though there's okay oiliness. This is unique but simple.

On tap at Torchlight, pours a clear blonde with a small white head - doesn't look like a hazy. Aroma brings out piney hops and crisp crackery malt. Flavour is nice and crisp, with crisp crackery malt, piney hops, and some light citrus. I like these blond IPAs much more than the typical sludgy hazies. Good stuff.

It won't affect the rating of the beer, but this is one of the most horrendous cans of the year. It's blond, light, with greenish hue, it's just hazy to cloudy; the head reduces to a small layer. The aroma ha nice hop qualities, it's citrusy and resiny. Dry mouthfeel, light, with very light crisp malt base; the bitterness is relatively low for an IPA, just a notch above the average NE IPA, the hop has some zesty quality, and very light tropical fruit, grapes, not very juicy, but it's very refreshing; the touch of sulfur in the finish is the only note out of tune, but it's almost imperceptible. You can feel a bit the alcohol, but overall it's very easy to drink.
Excellent.

Can, Legacy. Blonde, hazy, just a thin head. There's a bit of that overripe fruit on the aroma. On the palate, however, it's more in the sweet icing sugar pale malt mode, with a light subtropical fruit note. Soft, arguably too sweet while not possessing the bold, up front hop character that the style should embrace.
