Crisp golden coloured body with a thick, three to four centimetre tall just off-white head that fades fairly quickly and leaves a nice lace on the sides. Aroma of grass, hay, flowers and some perfume, but also a good note of biscuity and wheatie malts and a little sugar noticeable, too. Medium-bodied; Relatively strong grassy and floral hop notes show at first with a good level of alpha acids from the hops, with a nice kick of perfume and even some citrus flavours come out as well, all balanced nicely with the especially biscuity malts and while there isn't much sugar present, there's a touch. Aftertaste shows some light grainy flavours from the malts as well, with a good layer of sweetness and the hops that cap it off nicely with a lot of bitterness. Overall, a pretty nice, relatively standard, but enjoyable throughout and a nice beer to sample, especially fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Fairfield, California on 28-August-2022 for US$3,50 sampled on the streets of downtown San Francisco, California just a few hours later on 28-August-2022.

Poured up on tap at Tap25 where it exhibits a clear copper body that supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up spicy dankness with some citrusy tangerine and Clementine in the background. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of spicy onion hops, tangerine, pineapple and a sliver of mango juiciness. This is going well. The hop bitterness and thin juiciness keep this deep and interesting yet dangerously drinkable. Solid.

Tap at Final Gravity. Pours dark translucent gold with a white head. Aroma is fruity with a hint of spice. Med + body. Flavor is light stone fruits, citrus/resin. It’s fruits and bitter for finish. Malt - well enough to support all the hop. Really nice IPA. Very bitter, but not harsh.

On tap at City Beer SF. Golden/orange with a small white head. Fresh and hoppy with pineapple, grapefruit and some hay. A kind of liked the drinkability of this one.

On draught at Harry’s Hofbrau. Overt lemon, citrus and tropical hop aroma. Pours a clear, golden orange with full white head that billows and remains throughout. Taste follows the hop aroma profile with moderate malt backbone. Bitterness is slightly sharp, but otherwise a very tasty offering.
