Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange to almost brown cloudiness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy hops with a light piney hop backing; light biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a sweet to bittersweet sort of quality; finishes mostly sweet through some citrusy hop notes
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; substantial smoothness; low hop bitterness assertiveness and a low carb
Overall: well, it fits the style but those hops in the flavor and aroma seem a bit stuffy - I'm not exactly sure what's going on there. Hmmm...

From a pint can. Pours a hazy gold with an off white head. Aromas are dank hay and green onion. Flavors are moderately bitter tangerine peel. Not a winner.

4 pack canned 8/24/21, drunk over the next two weeks.
Not gonna lie, if I'd known this was brewed at Idle Tyme, I would have never bought it. What a shitty brewery. And it shows. Granted, this is much better than your average IPA from there, but still, just vague/bland and not expressive in the nose.
Softish and dry in the mouth but just not quite juicy or too intersesting. Not that twangy but too much sourdough, acid and pine.

Can (5/25/21) pour from trade with Johnnnniee via The Packie--thanks, John! It's an opaque light brown-dark yellow with light sparkle, thin cap of off-white head with poor retention and nice ring of lacing. Aroma is moderately strong lemony citrus with dank vegetal element. Taste is strong citrus with lighter tart fruit. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, soft carbonation and crisp finish with little flavor. Overall, taste is better than aroma but appearance is the relative start of the show. Skippable.
