Malted Wheat and Flaked Oats round out this dreamy New England Style IPA using Galaxy, Azzaca, Falconers Flight and Cascade hops in both Whirlpool and Dry Hopping on this iteration. Using the "London Fog" yeast strain compliments the hops for a slight dank yet tropical citrus hop flavor and aroma.

Grapefruit. Orange peel. Marmalade, lots of it. Murky orange pour with pretty good head. Doesn't come together super well. Tangy, and boozy finish with some sweetness. Tap at Fire Works.

Relatively hazy, but slightly clear golden, orange, peach and light copper coloured body with a thin, single centimetre tall off-white and tan head. Aroma of citrus, grass, flowers, alcohol, light malt and a dash of stone fruits with a splash of sugars - mainly from fructose, but robust throughout, with a good deal of hop bitterness, of course. Medium to Full-bodied; Rich, almost creamy flavour at first, with a lot of fruit flavours that hit with the citrus, grapefruit and stone fruits, but also a floral and light grassy bite, with some reserved hop bitterness, but very supportive malt backbone, showing a lot of alcohol and light but soft sweetness from fruit and jam. Aftertaste is clean, relatively straight-forward, but deep, robust, bitter, fruity and showing quite a bit of alcohol and astringency, as expected (with 8,0 per cent alcohol). Overall, a solid Imperial-ish IPA as an East Coaster (not a New England) that hits the hop and bitter notes right, while being robust and deep. Good to try, especially very fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce can, purchased from Costco in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 17-April-2020 for US$2,99 sampled at my house here in Washington, a few blocks away, only five days later on 22-April-2020.

Can from a local Total Wine. Poured a slightly hazy golden yellow color with a small, off-white head. Aroma was nice citrus, tangerines, tropical fruits. Lots of vitamin C here. Orange zest, creamy vanilla, light sweetness. I joked that it was kind of same-same with other hazy, juicy beers, but still is a great beer.
