On a flight at the source, 2nd April 2025. Hazed golden amber body, white crown. Piney hop nose with a malty mate, taste similar with both the hops and malts vying for power, hops just about winning the flavour stakes with a slight citrus bite towards the finish.

12oz can from Park Plaza Liqour & Deli, Prescott, AZ, as Mariner Double IPA. A hazy amber pour with a thin cream head; the aroma is an interesting mix of citrus and herbs; the taste is of sweet grapefruit with a malty backbone; and a dry grapefruity finish. A solid DIPA.
PS: If you ever get hold of a can of this, take a look at the bar code - nice to see such thoughtful design :)

Can from Total Wine - Henderson. Gusher if a can, then a fairly calm pour. Dark amber, Hazy, small ring of head, spotty lacing. Caramel toffee malts in the aroma some floral notes., Hand soap. Taste is more of the sweet malts, toffee,pipe tobacco, Jujubes. Sticky bitter finish.

12oz can pours with a clear gold to copper body that supports a thin tan head. The aroma offers up mango, pineapple, malts and then some booze. The taste delivers a blend of peach, pineapple, cantaloupe and then some bitter grapefruit citrus hop notes. The sweet malts and modest booze hit about midway. Pretty decent IIPA.
