Very hazy, almost chunky pale golden, straw yellow and peach coloured body with a pretty small, just over one centimetre tall frothy off-white head that barely covers the 90 per cent opaque body. Aroma of oranges, curacao, light mangoes, a good deal of wheat and some pretty noticeable candy sweetness towards the end that makes this very fruit and sugar forward - in the nose at least. Medium-bodied; Pretty rich mango and especially orange candy notes show at first with a lot of residual sugars here, but a dash of dryness and citrusey aspects as well, however, the wheat and light yeast notes provide more than enough balance and keep this mild, especially at the end. Aftertaste is crisp, very drinkable and showing a pleasant sweetness along with a lot of fruits and smooth balance from the malt bill - and almost no alcohol notes or bitterness throughout. Overall, a new school, very easy-drinking beer that definitely does NOT show Imperial Status at all - perhaps a 'good' thing, but nice to sample, especially those who want a clean, easy-drinking, but still moderately ABVed IPA that tastes more like juice than anything bitter! Nice to have locally and super fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from MOM's Organic Market in Fairfax (Merrifield), Virginia on 16-December-2022 for US$4,99 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 18-January-2023.

Can, courtesy of mansquito. Pours hazy orange. Grapefruit, lemon, grassy, strong grain, little doughy, almost like a white chocolate note. Medium body. Fine.
