Poured from a 16 oz can dated April 7, 2021. Aroma is hop forward with lots of passion fruit, guava, mango and tropical citrus with lighter dank, resin notes. Light cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes. Pours a hazy, pale, yellow, straw color with a medium large thick, fluffy white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges. Medium light lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Moderately high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong notes of guava and passion fruit with lighter tropical citrus, pineapple, grapefruit and pine resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid hazy IPA. Quite a bit of hop note, albeit a bit muddled. Balanced malt and bitterness. Alcohol well hidden.
