Very hazy deep copper and light bronze coloured body with a straw-like glow and a pretty thick, two to three centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of super deep and pungent alcohol and a lot of orange juice and tropical fruit notes with some papaya and mangoes as well, but the alcohol and honey notes are strongest. Medium-bodied; Fairly rich malt and wheatie body shows at first with a lot of citrus and orangey flavours with some light white grape and bready notes towards the end, but the enjoyable fruits show first here in a nice, subdued way. Aftertaste shows some honey and sugars at first, but the wheatie and full-bodied malt aspects hit hard but leave the palate ripe for the fruits, pretty sweet, but citrusey and very orangey. Overall, a nice and robust, very rich and malty beer that has a lot of hop components to balance out the rich malts, making this medium to full-bodied throughout and on the verge of Imperial Status despite the lower alcohol content here. Nice to sample and a good IPA from three very nice breweries - happy to have this one and surprised to find it in Florida versus New York or Colorado, which I’ve been to in the past several months. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 30-April-2022 for US$5,99 sampled in my hotel room a day later on 01-May-2022 with my family in Bonita Springs, Florida.

Hazy dark yellow, fluffy white head. Smell is hoppy, tropical, slightly dank. Very nice body, firm yet pillowy fluffy. Nice bite to it. Great flavour, lightly sweet, somewhat herbal bitter in the back. Papaya, mango, tiny drop of resin. Excellent stuff!

16oz can pours out hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is sweet over ripe citrus kick. Taste is more of the nice sweet over ripe hops and some chalk.
