Poured from a 16 oz can dated May 12, 2020. Aroma is hop forward with loads of tropical fruit, melon and citrus. Lots of mango, guava, pineapple with lighter melon, stone fruit and citrus notes. Light cracker malt notes and oats with hints of alcohol. Pours a hazy, pale, golden straw color with a medium large, thick, frothy, white head that recedes slowly to a small, thick, film that lingers on the edges. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt and oat notes. Moderate bitterness and light alcohol spice. Light stone fruit and fruity esters. Fairly strong hop notes of mango, guava, melon, passion fruit and tropical citrus. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice, juicy IPA with lots of hop and ester character. Soft mouthfeel and easy drinking. The alcohol is fairly well hidden.

Can from La Riviera. Pours somewhat hazy gold with a nice white head. Aroma is very fruity. Med body or so. Flavor is tropically fruity - sort of melon with a pineapple note. Juicy. Has a very light dank touch. Juicily undry. Very nicely bitter. Exceptionally tasty.
