Poured from a 16 oz can dated August 29, 2023. Aroma is fairly fruity with lots of passion fruit, mango, pineapple, guava and tropical citrus. Hints of stone fruit as well. Light cracker malt notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a fairly clear, pale golden color with a medium large, fairly thick, fluffy, white head that recedes steadily to the edges where it lingers in clumps. Medium light lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with medium light grain notes. Fairly high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Quite fruity hop profile in the flavor as well with quite a bit of passion fruit, pineapple and tropical citrus. Lighter notes of guava and mango. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid IPA. Light, slightly dry malt profile and finish. Fairly strong bitterness that lingers a bit in the finish. Rather fruity hop profile in aroma and flavor.
