Ultra hazy pure golden and straw coloured body with a thinnish one to two centimetre tall off-white head that fades quickly and goes down stay afloat for a long time. Aroma of bright yeast, a lot of oats and banana, rich oats, pungent grass and hay with some floral notes as well, with a light alpha acid bite in the nose and some relatively strong alcohol scents as well. Medium to Full-bodied; Rich and strong flavoured oaty and wheatie maltiness noticeable, but the crisp and grassy, slightly citrusey hop bitterness shows through as well with a light touch of banana and some guava flavours are front and centre with a light bitterness and bite from the alcohol at the end. Aftertaste shows some deeper oat and wheat malt flavours with a pungent profile along with some tropically hops with the guava and especially papaya notes strongest. Overall, a nice and robust, rich IPA with perhaps more malt and specifically oat notes than the hops, but what are here are noticeable on both sides and provide the richness and lightly bitter notes equally - a very good balance throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce pint-sized can purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Hudson Yards), New York on 14-January-2023 for US$5,99 sampled in my hotel room here in Exmore, Virginia on the Virginia Eastern Shore on 25-February-2023.

Can. Pours a fairly hazy hue with a large white head. A big sweet nose, toast, big citrus. Lactose, sugary at times, big tropical fruit. Fairly balanced. Solid.

From a 473ml can on 29/11/2022. Pours a hazy medium golden witha big fluffy head. The aroma features lots of citrus with some distinct tropical notes. Tastes of peach, orange, pineapple and passionfruit finishes with a sharp, zesty, pithy bitterness which lingers. Bitter for an oat cream, but that's this brewer and they do it well. Silky mouthfeel with average carbonation. Excellent.
