12 ounce bottle. Cloudy amber orange color. Large pillowy beige head settles to a symmetrical cap. Faint citrus aroma hints at orange and tropical fruit. Light, juicy, malty fruit flavor. Description says coconut, but I am hard-pressed to find it. Maybe a little bit on the back of the tongue. An Okay brew, but lacking any real complexity. Finishes thin with a hint of tangerine.

Another bottle of IPA. How many IPA are there going to be? Has IPA taken the place of the ubiquitous pale lager? I'll say so. 2 bucks at JR's. That place really has a nice cheap mix six section. Smell is typical IPA but it doesn't seem to have any BO on the olfactory. First taste is big bad IPA fer sher, no mistaken. Lots of hops. Not sure how IPA can be called joyous, just asking; unless its a rank er something. Its a slighter darker and cloudy thing on the eye. Big f, stealthy mig of a foamy head fades to larger ruff bubbles after a while. Yes, just another one of a gahzillion out there. So many domestic variegates of IPA and so many of those are below average. Lets make anything and if turns out to be bitter as bullshit, we'll just put an IPA label on it. In the end its not quite as mouthcoating as an IPA trying to be a double imperial, but it is IPA none-the less. There, you have it; will somebody give me a decent civilized cold pale lager to rinse with, thank you.

12 ounce can from Beer Run, 3/23/21. Hazy orange, large foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of tangerine, papaya, perfume, coconut. Taste is papaya, mango, pineapple, tangerine, pale malt. Medium bodied, juicy, nearly no bitterness. Decent.
