Ridiculously hazy straw golden coloured body with a very large-bubbled five centimetre tall off-white head that fades very quickly, almost like soda - the body looks amazing, but the head looks awful. Aroma of relatively astringent hops with some oranges noticeable, but also a dry malt presence and some slight herbal notes, but the hops seem strong. Medium to Full-bodied; Very rich, sweet and pretty cloying sweetness and orangey/citrusey flavours show at first, but the big maltiness and lactose shows strongest, especially at the end, that makes this end LARGE! Aftertaste shows a rich, pretty malty beer that's a bear to get down, mainly from those malts of course, but also the cloying sweetness from the lactose and big orange notes. Overall, a pungent and very robust IPA that has a tiny amount of bitterness, but the sweetness and malt notes are a bit hard to overcome. Nice, but too deep and strong for me, especially in this format! It almost seems MORE than 8,7 per cent in this one! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria (Potomac Yard), Virginia on 27-June-2022 for US$5,99, sampled at my house here in Washington on 12-July-2022.

Cloudy orange-brown body, medium cream head. Nose tart and tropical, with tangerine, papaya, and other tropical fruits. Smooth, gummy body, mostly stone fruits and floral notes, rather tea-like. Neutral but firm. Yum.

Cloudy yellow pour with a medium frothy white head that recedes gradually to a film. Sticky strings of lace. Aroma of floral hops, citrus and malt. Medium body with flavors of herbal hop, pineapple, grapefruit and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a lingering fruity hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy, glowing straw gold color with a finger of white foam that lingers. Big tropical fruit bouquet with grapefruit, cherry and pineapple dominating. More of the same on the palate. Nice lingering fruit notes with some pithy, piney bitterness on the finish. Fairly soft mouthfeel. Above average Hazy DIPA.

Can (2/1/21) pour. It's an opaque dark yellow-light brown with no discernible sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with fair retention and light lacing. Aroma is mix of sweet pineapple and tart passion fruit with a smidge of Italian herbs/kitty litter/cat piss. Taste follows aroma along with grapes and astringency. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, lively carbonation, astringency (alcohol or otherwise) and finish as taste. Overall, not terrible but difficult.
