Super hazy golden and peach coloured body with a nice, two to three centimetre tall off-white head that coats the beer nicely. Aroma of grass, resin, tons of grapefruit, light oranges, curacao, a touch of peaches, bunches of apricots and a little bit of the alcohol noticeable near the end. Medium-bodied; Super dense fruity flavour at first with grapefruit, oranges, lemons, a touch of pine, a good deal of malt as a balance and ending with a pungent alcohol bite and some cleanser funk near the finish. Aftertaste shows the fresh hop flavour front and centre with a lot of pine, but somehow even more tropical fruits and pungent citrus elements that leave a more 'original' IPA finish with a lot of bitterness that I quite prefer, compared to the more simplistic 'softer' IPAs of new. Overall, a very nice offering and right on the edge of a traditional IPA and 'Imperial', and drinks fairly easy to make this more of a 'normal' rotation instead of something crazy and 'rare'. I sampled this sixteen ounce can purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 04-December-2018 for US$3,49 sampled at home in Washington on 06-January-2019.

Lots of sharp pine and a little booze. Decent stuff but unbalanced like angel dust. Hazy golden pour with good head and lacing. Bitter finish. Thin body. Tap at Jackpot.
