Poured from a 16 oz can. Aroma is hop forward with lots of grapefruit and orange notes alongside some dank, resinous notes and hints of onion. Light cracker malt notes and faint alcohol notrs Pours a hazy, dull golden straw color with a medium sized, medium thick, white head that recedes slowly to the edges where it lingers in clumps. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with light cracker malt notes. Fairly strong bitterness with faint alcohol spice. Moderately strong hop notes of grapefruit, pine, resin and woodsy, dank notes with lighter tropical citrus. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent West Coast IPA with some East Coast haze. Not very fruity, but soft malt notes which help level out the bitterness a bit.

Pour is a milkshake looking orange with a large fluffy white head. Aroma is a huge grapefruit and honeydew melon. Very fruity and citrus forward. Flavor is again very citrus forward and I am also getting some strawberry and peach. Very fruity and flavorful. This also has a milky thick mouth feel making this more like a fruit smoothy. Very nice IPA with lots of fruity hops.

It's a pretty good IPA. Hops are resinous and the flavor is slightly more bitter than sweet but the Hops are fresh. I don't see where others are getting the East Coast style from it at all except for maybe because of the haze and some of the sweetness. In days gone past when you had a resinous IPA it was more of an error than a good thing but such a the times we live in. Good body and finish.

Can at home watching a Netflix film that seems to be improving. Murky pour not pretty even for NEIPA. Nose is citrus and some herbal. Tastes bitter, juicy grapefruit, herbal tones, tangerine. Fruity finish quite floral.

16 oz. can from Beercraft. Milky, hazy pour, small creamy head, streaky lacing. aroma is biscuits , kind of sweet, light fruit. Taste brings in some grapefruit, in a big way, tart and bitter, still has a nice bready background. Hazy, however, not quite tropical.
