Poured from a 16 oz can dated December 15, 2020. Aroma is hop forward with moderate notes of orange, tangerine, grapefruit, passion fruit, mango and dank, resin notes. Light cracker malt notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a hazy, golden-orange color with a medium large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to a small white film that lingers. Medium lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with light cracker malt notes and a hint of caramel. Moderately strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong hop notes of orange, tangerine and grapefruit with lighter notes of passion fruit, mango and pine notes. Light dank, resin, oily notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid IPA. Hazy and a bit juicy, but with a bit of a stronger bitterness. Malt character is there but pretty light. Easy drinking.

16oz can pours a mostly clear gold with some soapy, bright white head. Nose is definitely old school, bright citrus and grass, soap, some pine, a little honey and blossoms. Flavor is simple but clear, some honey and grain, lemon, orange, grapefruit, grass, soap. Gets a bit buttery and grain on the end.

On draft at Caps & Taps. It pours a very cloudy deep orange color with an off white head. The aroma has strong guava, florals, passionfruit and light graham cracker-like maltiness. The flavor is toasted with strong fruity mango, peach and florals. Really nice.
