Upon cracking this can, you may begin to daydream, but this hoppy heaven of a beer is real life. The aggressively hop forward nose, provided by Nugget and Mosaic, is followed by waves of citrus and tropical fruits from Cascade and Citra. The medium body from oats and unmalted wheat leads you into a palate full of fresh squeezed orange juice and hints of grapefruit thanks to the addition of Simcoe. The finish is surprisingly clean with a lingering fruitiness that begs for another gulp.

Can from Craft City. Pours orange tinge gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma is a mix of resin and tropicals - thinking some passion fruit and green melon. Maybe citrus. Med body or so. Flavor seems green melon, passionfruit and citrus with pale malt support. Dry. Hoppy. Moderately bitter. Nice.

Appearance is hazy golden, a half-finger foamy white head. Aroma- peach, hops, caramel, pineapple, mango, marmalade, orange peel, candied fruit. Taste is grapefruit, pineapple, orange and mango, sticky hop resin, wheaty caramel malty undertones, quite coating in the mouth, sweet finish. Good, sweeter than your average hazy IPA.

32oz crowler pours with a hazy deep gold body that has a copper core and supports a thin light tan head of foam. The modest aroma offers up pineapple, clementine, honeydew and strawberry. The taste delivers a juicy start that's somewhat restrained in sweetness. I get clementine, thin tangy tangerine, a dash of lime and then softee cantaloupe and pineapple notes. There's a thin bitter hop theme that runs from front to back that helps keep this somewhat balanced. Pretty nice.

The Aromas are fresh Citrus with pith hops, some Pine resin and crackers. Flavors are like nose, lightly sweet, low bitter with good carbonation. Nice body and bitterness comes out a little bit in the Finish. Tasty Brew.

On tap at Abnormal, pours a cloudy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out tropical pithy stone fruits, dank hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour is bright and dank, with a wonderful tropical fruity character, moderately dank hops, and juicy citrus. Man, if all hazies were like this, I'd be in love with the style. Brilliantly balanced and constructed all round. Wonderful.
