Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: stiff looking burnt yellow to orange cardboard haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: lemon, grapefruit, mango, white grapes and subtle herbal hop characters; light peppery/spicy whiffs; light clean malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine semi-juicy sweet to subtle spicy to a slight bittersweet quality; finishes semi-juicy sweet through the mangoes, white grapes and a touch of that peppery tone I noted in the aroma
Texture: medium bodied, between being a sipper and being sessionable; light smoothness but also a light note of dryness hitting the tongue ever so slightly
Overall: man, well, that stinks this is my last Blue Jacket beer to review until further notice, but all of these beers make me wanna check out their brewery eventually.

Quite hazy golden, orange and peach coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall tan head that fades a bit quickly. Aroma of robust citrus fruits with a lot of tropical fruit notes, a little dose of perfume and some solid malt and fructose notes here make this deep and robust. Medium-bodied; Strong fruity flavours at first that show some oranges and grapefruits with a light hit of tropical fruit notes and all balanced with some strong malt notes, a little yeast and some bready flavours at the end. Aftertaste shows the citrus twang with a lot of perceived bitterness from all the hops and alpha acid notes that come through at the end. Overall, a nice and rich beer with a good malt backbone, but tons of fruity and juicy hops which sort of overpower the malts. A good option, if you can find it and you like juicier and slightly hazier IPAs that still have the right balance throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce can, given to me by the GM at the brewery, after a hockey game in Arlington, Virginia in October 2019 - Thanks Erik!
