Tap. Pours pretty clear orange, medium lasting off white head, good lacing. Aroma is a bit dishwater, pine, orange peel. Flavors is kinda sweet, medium bitter, pine, floral and dishwater notes. Medium body, soft mouthfeel. Bit of heat. Nope.

Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a dark rust to copper color with a sustaining finger’s worth of white foamy head.
The aroma had some tobacco leaf, fresh mango pulp, clean caramel malt, light spruce, subtle citrus and ended with a little bit of earthy hops.
The flavor lends a hand to the sweet side of the spectrum melding the previously mentioned aromas together quaintly. Some bitterness slides in nicely. Aftertaste had a nice smooth sweet velocity. The finish was malty but clean.
The palate was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Good carbonation and a nice ABV to boot.
Overall, a bit of an old school DIPA or maybe a West Coast DIPA that’s nicely done and cleaned up. I could take another stab at this.

Poured from can thanks AirforceHops clear gold with a nice off white head. Aromas of grass pine grain and....wait for it...caramel. Flavor follows aroma with some floral notes and mild citrus. Caramel pine and balanced bitterness.

16 oz. can. No canning date anywhere. Crystal clear golden color with a big frothy foam on a slow canted pour. This is unfiltered??? Fooled me.... Aroma is mild grass clippings, light pine and subtle pale cereal grains.
Flavor is the same as the aroma with addition of mild fruits. The alcohol is not detectable. The mouthfeel has a light soft texture. Gosh, super easy to drink. 12 oz. was gone before I finished my review. A pleasant surprise.
