Nice creamy foam and some cloudy orange liquid below. Taste is good chewy orange zest, hints of pine, pineapple juice. Taste is nice orange zest and pine, balanced. There's great lingering oil, bitterness and sweetness. Very nice, well constructed.

Re-rate: Poured from the tap (Had to give it a second chance after the terrible can). Hazy gold with small white head. Dank, tropical hops, touch of butter. Redeemable, but still average. First rate (Aug 13, 2021 - 2/3/2/1/4=1.2): Poured from 355mL can (pkg July 14, 2021). Quite hazy gold with full white head. I am going to have to try this on tap and hopefully it hasn't gone rancid (wish I didn't sit on this for a month). This has gone completely rancid despite being kept in the refridgerator the entire time. This is one of the worst cases of diacytyl I've ever tasted... Butter bomb through and through. Complete drain pour.

Cloudy ppale blond colour. Dank aroma. Soft mouthfeel, the sweetness is very low, some creamy oats, good hopping, but with some pithy bitterness in the finish.
Good but not spectacular.

355mL can, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a medium white head. Nose bursts of tropical fruits, some melon, resinous hops, and some underlying malty sweetness. Flavour delivers a punch of bright tropical fruits -- papaya, pineapple, guava, etc. -- with some melon, assertive resinous and piney hops, some orange rinds, and a big chewy but not-too-sweet malt base. Balanced beautifully, showing a bit of the alcohol. Love that bright fruitiness and the more assertive hops, which leave a long, bitter finish. It's not the most refined west coast IIPA out there, but it's really well-made and powerful. Excellent.

12oz on Alex's porch. Appearance: hazy blonde with a white head. Aroma: dank, some butter and creamy notes. Taste: dank, some tropical fruits, dry with bitter aftertaste. Overall: weird to me, not my style of hazies.

Hazy, has a nice glow to it. Spicy hop up front, lots of bitterness, then papaya, pineapple and those types of notes. Bright pomelo in there, good malt base and I like the touch of alcohol in the finish. Well made.
