Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is citrussy hop with soft pale malt, pineapple, orange zest, grassy notes. Flavour is moderate bitter and lightly sweetish. Medium body. Decent IPA, lacks some oomph.

Can from market district. From the start I think this stuff is not really an IPA, its more like a hopped APA, quite mild by IPA standards. Yes, thinking it was going to be super hop bitter, I braced myself for the onslaught that never arrived. It is hazy and it smells like a mild IPA but it never reaches full IPA status: Its just a mildly hopped ale and that's it. Smell is quite friendly too, just a mild IPA hop perfume on the olfactory. NH beers have always been civilized from my point a view and this is no exception; I guess they a probably making sure they don't insult any of their long-time followers as a customer base. Yea, since I don't care for hoppy IPAs, I think this is one of the better IPA I've had. Good level of CO2 and it's not mouthcoating, like so many rude ass IPA. It's civilized with manners and easy to get along with. Well balanced for it's style.

Pour is more of a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is a nice hit of citrus. Flavor is the same a nice citrus with a dry chalky malt. Not quite a hazy but a decent flavor none the less.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, 5/7/21. Hazy orange, large frothy off-white head, good retention. Aroma of dank, earth, pale malt. Taste is tropical fruit, pale malt. Simple, well balanced, mildly juicy. Decent. Rating as many different states in a row as I can without repeats. Starting on 5/4: IL, CT, NY, VA, TN, IA, MN, AZ, OH, FL, NM, and now MI.

Hazy dirty yellow body, thick marshmallow-like off-white head. Juicy nose with pineapple, papaya, lime, and pine. Body soft yet spritzy, tart and oily, with bubblegum, pineapple, lime, and grassy notes. An approachable session version of the style.

2 month old can A: Very murky dark yellow haze with 1/2 of white foam that held up fairly well, leaving sheets of lace. S: Pulpy grapefruit and orange with cake or sweet wafer cookies. T: Follows the nose with fresh orange and grapefruit pulp. Very juicy flavor with just a hint of woody malt backing. Little bitterness but a pithy aftertaste. M: Light and airy mouthfeel with coating carbonation and surprisingly no hop burn. O: Actually pretty tasty with a nice texture but it just tastes too much like fruit juice and not enough like beer.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish straw gold with a finger of white foam. Light melon and stone fruit aromas with a whiff of butter as it warms up. Crisp and clean palate with some of the juicy mouthfeel expected for the style. Lower bitterness with lingering citrus, and honeydew melon with some light peach and lychee notes.
