Aromas of tropical fruits leap out of the glass of this post-modern IPA; guava, peaches, passionfruit and pineapple are all there. Utilizing a truly unique yeast strain and some of the most fruit forward hops from around the world, this incredibly hazy IPA is huge on aroma with a big creamy-smooth body, finishing soft and clean with a long juicy finish.

Canned 5/15, shared by Jow on 6/28/25. Thanks!
Heavily hazy, bright lemon golden. Small, white head.
Floral and fruity with dry spice and cedar. Heavy stone fruit, gooseberry. Cracker and biscuit with a hint of honey.
Spicy, dry, plentiful stone fruit and biscuit with just enough sweetness. Nice attenuation and depth. Super fruity, lightly peppery. Maybe a touch more malt sweetness would make the fruit pop even more, but this is very well-done

Pint Can. Pours an opaque cloudy yellow color with a small white head that has fair retention. The aroma is mostly pineapple with a bit of grapefruit and some guava. The taste is mixed tropical fruits with grapefruit, lemon pith and pineapple. The palate was full and the carbonation was soft. Finishes long and dry with lingering bitter grapefruit. Overall: Decent hazy IPA--went down very easy. Paired well with some honey goat gouda cheese.

32oz crowler pours with a murky opaque straw gold body that supports a near white head of foam. The aroma offers up some initial onion dankness and then it settled into grapefruit, dank onion and some guava. The taste delivers a smooth balanced attack of bitter grapefruit like hoppiness and smooth guava and a bit of cantaloupe. It gets into mildly rich territory to midway as the tropical fruitiness and citrus juice ramp up just a bit. Behind the fruitiness and growing some into the finish is a murmur of bitter onion like dank bitterness and floral hoppiness. Solid balanced crushable beer. Yes!

1/2 glass draft pour at Irene's Tap Room in Phoenix, Arizona. The pour is hazy cloudy yellow slight orange with a foamy white head that leaves nice lace. The aroma is lemon, pineapple, sweet like juice. The taste has sweet mango, fresh bright lemon and lime and more tropical fruit sweetness with pineapple. Resin present as well as cracker malt. As the beer warms, nice dank quality. The palate is medium bodied, very chewy mouthfeel, and sweet dank resin finish. Tasty.

Can - moderately hazy gold - light, summery, juicy ipa - heavy flavors of lemon, lime, pineapple - up front it tastes like this should be served in a glass with salt around the rim - more dank and bitter “traditional” hoppiness arrives late and rounds it out a bit - finish is a little watery and pithy, but pretty good.
