Undated can from cooler, drunk 12/7/21. Looks great. Pale, white golden-to-maize with a small, fluffy, white head that fades slowly to cover. A bit mosaic-y, with soft pine, floral notes, lemon and such. Nothing to juicy or explosive here, and yet it's pretty soft and endearing with no booze or twang. Light cotton candy, bubble gum and honey with more cracker and tangerine skin on the end. Soft and yet crackery, with plentiful mosaic-like character and a fair amount of bubble gum. Fuzzy and with high attenuation, a bit too much cotton candy, probably and lingering floral/herbal notes. The pine and tangerine combo is endearing, as is the super soft texture, but it's just a bit too cotton candy-heavy, almost saccharine-like. I'd like more juicy hop and less estery yeast character.

Ridiculously hazy golden and raw honey coloured body with a thin, single centimetre tall ghostly white head that fades fast to barely cover the top. Aroma of grass, citrusey hops, alcohol, candy and a lot of alpha acids and bitterness from resinous, sticky hops - very nice! Medium-bodied; Candy-like sweetness at first of fruity candy that fades and gives a tiny maltiness, but some floral and grassy notes then come in and provided dryness, but it all ends with the dryness and bitterness from the hops, showing much more than any malts. Aftertaste is clean, very dry, very fruity, super hoppy and bitter (very old school, nice!) with a lot less maltiness than you'd expect for all the high alpha acid hops, but it's very nice and quite drinkable. Overall, a well-structured IPA that reminds me of the style ~10 years ago, where there was a race of hop much hops/bitterness to add while not adding to the alcohol, maltiness, body quotient and this personifies that, in a good way! Very nice to try, especially as summer is hitting! Good fresh from New York via Manhattan! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Manhattan West/Hudson Yards), New York on 02-May-2021 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 14-May-2021.

Can (2/24/21) pour. It's an opaque dark yellow with a bunch of large white floaties, trace sparkle and finger-width off-white foamy head with poor retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is orange and pineapple. Taste is strong pineapple and orange. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, not complex but nice juicy strength of the flavor. A bit thin for the style.

Well, at least half the day was pleasant, before the sun reared its ugly head, bringing everyone out. Juicy, smooth.

Can drank at the apartment in Brooklyn. Picked up from the Key Food across the way. Plainly, it does what it says on the tin. Has some nice citrus fruit character, some pithy lemon and grapefruit. Finishes with notes of pine needles, apricot, orange, some chalk. Solid overall.
