Blue & pick can off the dollar rack. Nose of fruit perfumey fruit candle wax. Initially clear pale pour with a big frothy white foamy head. However, when I get to the end of the can its cloudy. Taste is certainly IPA but it smooth a little with good cutting level of co2 and the fruit. Yes, in the middle you do get the IPA bitterness but it is not as lasting after each gulp, it fades rather quickly. That guava is quite up front and as I near the finish its kindah getting in my face and rather annoying. It almost starts to get an artificial attitude about it. Maybe its just the fact that its IPA with bitterness that's bugging me. Yes, on the finish, I cannot forget its an IPA although this stuff almost had me fooled that it was a mild APA at first. I know its styled as an IPA but its really a fruit beer of sorts. Oh well, there you have it.

Slightly hazy gold with a large foamy head that lingers. Tangy and sweet with an off cardboard note followed by faint tropical fruit and a bit of medicine. Medium finish. Medium body.

Pours bright orange with a thin white head. Aroma of pineapple, sweet guava, tropical fruits. Taste has a fascinating mix of soft fruit notes, melon, guava, with a little bit of citrusy hop oils. Palate is sweet, with a lingering bite from hops, as well as a sweet guava note that stays on the tongue and permeates the nose. Refreshing.
