Poured from a 16 oz can dated November 29, 2023. Aroma is very hop forward and tropical with lots of passion fruit, guava and tropical citrus. Lighter notes of peach and tangerine with a dank, resin note. Light cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes. Pours a fairly clear, golden color with a large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges. Moderately high lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Fairly strong bitterness with light alcohol notes. Flavor is fairly hoppy as well, but more citrus and citrus pith with a bit of a hop bite. Moderate passion fruit and guava notes. Lingering, dank, resin notes in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid IPA. Really nice hop aroma but the flavor didn't quite match. Still really good, but the flavor would benefit from less hop bite. Good malt notes and balanced alcohol. A bit more bitter than I was expecting.
