Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: hazy orange color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pineapple, pear and peachy hop scents underscored by a little bit of grapefruity hop backings, light clean malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to more of a bitter side of the bittersweet qualities; finishes by leaning into the grapefruity and piney tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, carb seems to be lowered better than some other efforts on this style by them, some smoothness but also a semi-strong bitterness on the tongue
Overall: we're getting there, Switchback, still, just a little bit more bitter than some others of this style. I would come back to this.

Tåkete orange med luftig hvitt skum. Lukter grapefrukt og aprikos. Smaker grapefrukt og noe appelsin. Medium fylde og medium bitter.

--Sample, thanks fonefan! -- Almost clear deep golden. Bready nose with some lychee. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Slender fruity malt, lychee and pineapple. Low to medium bitterness.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Yellowish golden colour, small white foamy head. Aroma is floral, nectary, some mild toffee and a bit citrusy tones. Flavour is floral, nectary, citrusy and some mild toffeeish tones. Grainy and citrusy aftertaste with some water melon to it. Easy going, but crisp and refreshing!

Can that pours a slight hazed, golden colour with a frothy-bubbly white head, decent retention leaving some foamy lacing traces. Fresh herbal aromas with some cilantro hints, citrus zest and mild juices. The mouthfeel is juicy with some building dryness in the finish. Some good grassy bitterness in the taste with the light citrus peel. A touch of watermelon does come out to smooth out the bitter side. An interesting Hazy IPA that has a little more bitterness than most.
