Poured from a 16 oz can dated April 2, 2019. Aroma is hop forward with nice fruity notes of mango, passion fruit, melon and stone fruit. Some citrus with light pine and r sin notes. Light cracker malt notes and a hint of alcohol. Pours a slightly hazy, light golden color with a medium sized, thick, white head that recedes to a small film that lingers thicker on the edges. Medium lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes and a moderately strong bitterness. Moderately fruity hop notes with mango, passion fruit, tangerine, grapefruit, pine and resin. Faint alcohol notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice IPA. Solid fruity hop notes with a nice, light but present malt backbone. Not as fruity as a NEIPA but not as assertively bitter as a West Coast one. I like this beer quite a bit and I bet it was even better a month ago. I was just wondering the other day why brewers moved away from Amarillo; I really enjoy the hop.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours translucent amber gold with a white head. Mixed fruit aroma. Berries? Grapefruit? Med body at least. Flavor is fairly dry and quite bitter. Grapefruit zest, mixed red berries and melon and likely many other flavors. It has slightly roasty malt, but sugar isn't in this - it is actually quite astringent. Ale for hop and bitter lovers.
