Pours a very hazy, lemon-banana yellow, with mid-sized, lasting head. Aroma has some citrus, some dankness, a bit of grass. Flavor is quite grassy and bitter, with some citrus elements. Strong bitter hop finish.

16oz can. Poured a super hazy, perhaps more than hazy - super Yeasty, cloud trub kind of color. Orange creamcicle color. Huge, massive, gigantic foamy white head. Aroma was a bunch of citrus, tropical fruit comes through, as does a ton of pulpy orange juice, zest. Light mimosa character. Would be a bit more pleasant if the second half of the pour wasn't so thick with yeast/sediment.

16oz can pours a pulpy yellow with some lacing, sudsy head. Nose has orange, grass, tropical fruits, lemon curd, passion fruit. Flavor has some malt and grist, orange and grapefruit, guava and mango. Finishes bitter, dry. A toned down juice bomb and very successful.

Cans from the source: pours opaque haze. Aroma is citrus, earthiness, loads of hops. Definitely on the bitter end of what constitutes a NE IPA. Loads of bitter hops... amarillo, plus loads of bitter citrus (bitter melon perhaps, but how would I know?).
