Very hazy, completely straw coloured body with a massive, eight centimetre tall off-white frothy head that fades very slowly over top of the 85 per cent opaque body. Aroma of light stone fruits and some scents of apples/pears and a touch of tropical fruits with some soft oats and wheat malt noticeable, but not much else. Medium-bodied; Crisp, fruity flavours show at first with a good balance of rich malts that provide a deep body, but still very easy-drinking and a nice hoppiness that shows up as a clean alpha acid bitterness near the end - but crisp throughout. Aftertaste is enjoyable, quite easy-drinking, but still flavourful and rich, but not complex or fitting into a single IPA category/style. Overall, a pretty nice, crisp, easy-drinking-ish and slightly bitter, but packing some nice flavours in an unfiltered package! Nice to try locally and reminiscent of the lower ABV Aslin IPAs that I really enjoy! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Pentagon Row), Virginia on 28-June-2022 for US$1,87 (part of a mixed six pack) and sampled at my house here in Washington on 14-July-2022.

16oz can, purchased at the brewery before it closed. Poured a hazy yellow color with a medium sized, white head. Aroma was light tropical fruits, juicy, some herbal notes. Flavor was light orange, tropical fruit. Almost a bit too hazy, perhaps a bit chalky?
