Can to glass. Pours hazy yellow with full white head. Aroma and flavor are massive citrus. Flavor is well rounded with mall adding solid support. Orange juice on the flavor. Very nice beer and I have really enjoyed the OP offerings for the last 6 months or so.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated May 29, 2019. Aroma is hop forward and fairly fruity with the Amarillo hops dominating the aroma. Lots of tropical fruit (mango and passion fruit) with some stone fruit and tropical citrus notes. Light resin and dank notes with hints of alcohol spice. Pours a fairly hazy, murky, dark golden orange with a medium large, frothy, thick white head that slowly recedes to a small film that lingers on the edges. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor has a light sweetness with cracker malt notes. Moderately strong bitterness and light alcohol spice. Moderately strong hop notes of mango, passion fruit, tropical citrus, and over ripe stone fruit. Light resin and dank notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent IPA. It's fairly fruity, but it's not quite the fruit profile I prefer as it has a definite over ripe character to it. Still a nice IPA though.
