This one is a real tropical charger, with notes of pungent kumquats, guava soda, caramelized pineapple, vanilla pastry dough, white peach, and enough “hop” character to remind you it is an IPA afterall.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: muddy burnt orange to copper color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light messy lace
Aroma: mild earthy to floral hops take the lead then some muted passion fruity tones and some pineapple-y hops
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together bittersweetly, mild aftertaste of pineapple, earthy hops and some malts
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, smooth along tongue, finishes crisp and earthy
Overall: somehow this seems like an English IPA is trying to blend with an American IPA, but does it? Well, IMO, not exactly.

16 oz can from Half Time, 12/9/24. Hazy orange color with a white head and strong lace. Tropical juice. Mango, papaya, passion fruit. Fairly sweet. Tasty. A little dryness on the close, which is needed for balance. Good stuff.
