Vivid Glow illuminates the glass with bright haze and a golden orange hue. Tasting notes include peach, apricot, and tangelo. A subtle current of fresh cut grass balances the vibrant citrus and stone fruit creating a dangerously drinkable Double IPA.

Can (1/30/26) from Oliver's Beverage Center. Hazy, orange-yellow, with light sparkle, TONS of fine/large white floaties, decent head, excellent retention, lots of soapy lacing. Aroma is tangelo, candied stone fruit. Taste mirrors aroma but stronger and a bit sweeter and late sweet malt. Smooth, frothy texture, medium bodied, soft carbonation, finish as taste. There is sooooo much to like here but the vast amount of yeast really makes it unpleasant to look at (even with much of the rest of the appearance being quite good).

On tap at Common Roots Outpost, Albany, NY.
Appearance: thick hazy yellow color with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which slid off into oblivion, no lace
Aroma: peaches, apricots, bright citrus, freshly cut grass and clean bready malts
Flavor: fully combines all the prior noted aromas bittersweetly; mild aftertaste of peaches, apricots and malts
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper, fairly smooth, fruity hop finish
Overall: pretty nicely done AIPA or possibly NEIPA. I'd bang again.

Can from Tavour. Pours translucent gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma of pale stone fruits and citrus. Med plus body - lots of carbonation there. Flavor is tangerine/orange with peach right behind. Reasonably towards dry. More than moderately bitter. Prickly bitter. Very good stuff.
