Pours a hazy, fresh-squeezed orange juice color, with smallish head that dissipates rapidly. Aroma has a touch of juicy fruit gum, some citrus and tropical fruit, grass, pine/spruce hops. Flavor is a bit on the chalky side, with citrus and tropical fruit elements. There's a fairly bitter, hoppy taste to the finish. Good, though rather unremarkable.

Can, freshly bought, undated, drunk 12/26/18.
Heavily hazy, brass-golden with some slight copper tints. White head fades quickly to ring.
I was real high on comet, like top 3 IPA hops for me, but recently it's been very underwhelming, so ive been reconsidering my stance. This certainly did not help reinforce it. It's clean and not resinous in the nose, but that's about the extent of what you can say. Just not much there. Lemon, lime, tangerine, some very light pineapple and mostly base malt, biscuit and yeast. Maybe it's just too old? The cans just came in to the shop, but you never know since they DIDNT FUCKING DATE STAMP IT.
In the mouth it's soft, maybe a bit on the sweet side, or maybe that's just because it's so underhopped. Very low bitterness, some light spicy, strawberry, black tea, lime-mango and lemon with just such low flavor. Honey-biscuit from the malt practically outdoes the hops. Otherwise, it's clean and not resinous or alcoholic, at least. Mostly engaging carbonation. Reasonable attenuation.
