Poured from a 16 oz can dated April 21 2025.
Aroma is hop forward with moderately strong hop notes of passion fruit, stone fruit, grapefruit, tropical citrus, pineapple and dank oily resin. Medium light cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes.
Pours a somewhat hazy dull, golden orange color with a medium large, fairly thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers on the edges. Medium light lacing and small legs.
Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Medium bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong hop notes with pineapple, passion fruit, grapefruit, tropical citrus and stone fruit. Medium dank, oily resin notes.
Mouthfeel is medium to medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a decent IPA but not a particularly hazy one. This is more of an unfiltered West Coast IPA than a haze bomb. Better in some ways, but also not what I was expecting. Not particularly hoppy in the flavor or the aroma, could definitely use more hop character. A touch on the sweet side like a hazy IPA and not very bitter either. Not sure what happened with this one.

Can. Pours hazy yellow with a medium white head and good lacing. Aroma is nectaron; tropical fruit, guava, hints of pot, lime and nectarine. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter. Medium body, soft mouthfeel. This bad boy is tasty.
