Sweet upfront resiny bitter hints on the back. Maybe not fresh enough, no idea on the date. But still overall a good juicy upfront hop can.

4 oz. draft at the brewery. Hazy yellow appearance. Aroma is light fruit, grass, malt. Mild fruit, softer malt, light booze shows. Juice is weak. Low bitterness. The booze showing is a big negative for me. (Should not taste it here) Just ok for me.

Draught @ City Hops. Clear golden with large foamy off-white head, orange peel aroma, low carbonation, mildly bitter orange peel taste with mango, light alcohol undertones, thin body, long finish with boozy aftertaste. Tastes a bit boozy, could be masked better.

Pour is a almost clear orange with a small white head. Aroma is of a fresh cut orange with the sugar to go along. Flavor is again pretty much all orange fresh cut right from the tree. No malt shows up and for being so orange forward not a lot of bitterness shows up as well. Not one of those hazy IPA's but definitely very orange fruity forward.

Tall boy walking through Brooklyn: yeah it was in a can. Aroma is a good bit of citrus. Some maltiness. Taste is very citrusy, but this feels a little bit like an old IPA with the maltiness. Gold Star Beer Counter is pretty fancy... so it is weird that this would be the case...

16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy medium golden/amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, toasted biscuit, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, toasted biscuit, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, toasted biscuit, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy bitterness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8%. Overall this is an excellent DIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Hardly an NEIPA as claimed, but a great DIPA. Probably Amarillo, Columbus, Centennial, Chinook, Cascade hops. All citrus/stone fruits. Juicy and fairly dank/earthy hop complexity; balanced bready malts, not overly sweet/heavy. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.
