From a can. 2 bucks. Pour is almost clear pale, just a tad hazy. Big foamy head that goes bib bubble rocky after a minute or 2. Nose olfactory is mild pine needles. Not sure if I detect any glacial water hehehehehh. Yes, a weird kinda citrus thing happening here. Not an IPA fan, just saying: Its bitter bullshit and so are a thousand other examples of the style. It's like Godzilla!

12 oz. Aroma has notes of cantaloupe, pineapple, pine, guava, citrus peel, passionfruit, strawberry. Pours hazy pale golden with a decent off white head. Taste is lightly bittersweet with juicy fruity flavors, finishing lightly dry. Crisp, clean, crushable.

Best by January 11th 2021.
Pours a straw gold, not quite clear, lots of billowy foam.
Smell is piney, some citrus, a wee bit of dankness.
Taste is grapefruit, some grass and pine, dank, actually a strange bitterness flavour.
Good enough mouthfeel.
Bought as a single and that works for me. Not saying it's bad...

Pour is a cloudy gold with a large white head. Made with wheat looks like a wheat beer. Aroma is some passion fruit hop and chewy wheat malt. Flavor is more of a bitter grapefruit with more of a wheat malt backbone. Finish leaves a little bit of that bitterness on the tongue. Decent enough with a hop you don't see too often.

12oz can. Pretty awesome to see a Strata hopped beer at a reasonable price. Great body, the wheat and lack of filtration flesh it out. The hop tone is quite modern, juicy, pleasant. At first it reminded me of Mosaic with light peachy/mango juiciness, but it is brighter, more tangy...more like a really mild pink grapefruit with a touch of dank. A really nice IPA, really cool example of the Strata hop.
