Can from Mejer, Kent, OH. Smells quite thin like apple juice and peach. Clear gold look. Lovely fruity and clean taste, but with quite a clingy bitterness at the end. Meaty beer despite its appearance.

Fairly hazy golden coloured body with a thinnish off-white head that stays on top nicely. Aroma of very bright and pungent hops with a lot of grapefruit, citrus and resin, a good malt backbone and some stronger sweetness from fruits and caster sugar, at least in the nose. Medium-bodied; Fairly pungent bittered hop notes dominate with a lot of alpha acids and a dry malt character along with some noticeable breadiness at the end. Aftertaste is almost exclusively pungent, bittering hops that hit very nicely and bring out a citrusey and grapefruity flavour with some resinous sweetness and stickiness on the end. Overall, a very nice and pungent, bitter yet balanced IPA with a great citrusey and grapefruit bite and some sweetness at the end that blends everything together very nicely. A very nice IPA that should be sampled by all who enjoy the style, if you can find it! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Heinen's in [downtown] Cleveland, Ohio on 30-July-2021 for US$1,99 sampled in my hotel room here in [downtown] Cleveland, Ohio a few hours later on 30-July-2021.

Can. An unclear golden beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of citrus fruits, hops, spices, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, citrus fruits, peaches, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

Bottle into a snifter showing well filtered pale to deep gold with very sparse white foam. The nose shows moderately intense notes of very round pine with a light bready malt backbone. Upon warming up more notes of tea and orange appear. The palate is moderately carbonated and light bodied. Moderately intense flavours of pine with mid-palate of bready malt. Finish showing a moderately sharp IPA bitterness.

It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture and lively carbonation. Fluffy mouthfeel. Inviting nose. Nice balance between citrus and resin. Clean.
