Hazy IPA brewed with east coast style yeast. Smooth citrus and passion fruit notes, but less bitter than Little Devil.

Pint of thick pulp. Really thick. Big cap of thick white head too. Nose has under ripe stone fruits, plenty of oats and wheat, grass, citrus curd. Flavor is very starchy. Caught my attention at first but we settled in. Malt and oat and wheat and honey. Melon and canned peach. Some candied grapefruit. Thicccc. Chalky, starchy finish. You could pass this as a Tree House beer.

Can (~ 3/6/26) from Beverage Warehouse. Hazy yellow (fine particulate mist), nice sparkle, thick (several fingers) head with good retention and splotchy, soapy lacing. Aroma is strong, slightly tart pineapple rind and sharp citrus. Taste follows aroma along with malt and late green apple. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and malty over dank pineapple rind finish with lingering dry bitterness. Hops may suffer a bit due to age (though this was most recent born on date in shop) but a slightly unpleasant tartness and sharpness and overly malty. Appreciative of chance to try brewer.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy burnt orange color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: stifled mixed citrusy hops along with some mixed tropical fruity hops; good clean malt base
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a semi-bitter to bittersweet sort of quality; finishes with that stifled mixed citrusy hop tones and coming across somewhat bitter
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability; light smoothness but some of that rawness maybe a bit chewy note entertaining the tongue in an odd sort of way
Overall: the aromas are somewhat good maybe not as expressive as I would have liked. Don't get me wrong, I feel as if there's something good here - it just needs that extra push to get over the top.

Can from Jeff, thanks for the hookup! Just a hint of haze in this light gold beverage with a good sized frothy white head that recedes. Solid bready malt base with hints of toffee and aspirin. can is dated 9/6/22 Meh

Pours a slightly hazy, copper-gold, with mid-sized head. Aroma is bready and grassy, with some citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor follows, with some medium hop bitterness that carries through from the middle to the finish. Mouthfeel seems perhaps a bit thin.
