7.4/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Super hazy golden and light copper coloured body with a nice two centimetre tall off-white head that's slightly soapy, sitting above the 90 per cent opaque glowing yellow tinted body. Aroma of oranges, grass, mangoes, flowers, soft wheat, some relatively assertive medicinal scents with a lot of bitterness seemingly here, but also some alcohol, too. Medium-bodied; Crisp, slightly biscuity and grainy malt notes start at first with a lighter wheat and slightly oaty note right behind, but a tad of a dry stone fruit, apricoty type flavour along with a tropically mango-like feel and taste, all before the orange, grapefruit and alpha acid hop bitterness takes over. Aftertaste is rich, fairly dry and showing some herbal and grassy qualities, while the oranges, grapefruit and mangoes come out at the end and leave a touch of sweetness here. Overall, a decent enough, pretty well-rounded and balanced IPA that shows as a New England, but has actual bitterness of an old school IPA and enough dryness to almost be a Brut. Good to try, fairly fresh, and perhaps worthy of trying to find this one! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from The Perfect Pour in Elk Ridge, Maryland on 07-March-2023 for US$4,69, canned on 03-October-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 12-May-2023.

10/II/23 - 1Pt. can form a trade, shared @ home, BB: n/a, canned: XI/11/22 12:29 (2023-142) Thanks to Zion for the trade!

Cloudy yellow blond beer, small creamy white head, little stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: lovely, super fruity, lots of citrus, grapefruit, a bit dank, good stuff! MF: soft carbon, medium to light body. Taste: gentle bitterness, a bit watery, more bitterness, fruity, zesty, good stuff! Aftertaste: mostly tropical fruits, a bit grassy, grapefruit, good bitter finish, a bit of a hop overload, but still a very nice beer!

Can (10/3/22) pour from Worldwide Wine & Spirits. It's a cloudy dark yellow with finger-width white foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong host of citrus (orange, grapefruit, lemon) like a pack of Skittles, creamsicle, maple. Taste is strong mostly orange creamsicle citrus, some grapefruit and lemon. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, the collaboration of these exceptional IPA brewers doesn't exceed the sum of its parts, but it equals it.

Pint Can. Pours a hazy/cloudy yellow color with a big sudsy white head that has ample lacing. The aroma is strong with grapefruit, lemons and a bit soap. The taste seemed like watered down grapefruit and perhaps some cotton candy. The palate was light and smooth with soft carbonation. Finishes short with lingering sweetened grapefruit. Overall: not bad, but not great either. Paired with some pretzels and that worked rather well. The lighter taste and palate made this go down easy. Oddly, I will probably buy this again--the light taste and mouthfeel made this very enjoyable.
