16oz can. Poured a hazy orange color with a medium sized, lightly foamy white head. Aroma was floral notes, biscuit, with some light sweetness. Flavor was pleasant citrus, floral, with a nice hop bite to it. Pleasant stuff.

Fairly hazy orange and peach coloured body with a large and very ugly, off-white and tan head that is very soapy and large-bubbled that lasts for a long time, but in this case, it's not so nice! Aroma of flowers, citrus fruits, biscuits, plastic and tons of very sweet honey notes. Medium-bodied; Very fresh citrus fruits come outwith a dry and herbal bite that brings out some bitterness along with a light note of alcohol, some softer malt and biscuity notes with an enjoyable sweetness on the end that balances out all the flavours nicely. Aftertaste is rich, deep and quite bitter - all from the hops, seemingly with a distinct dryness, but malt does show up towards the end that provides some balance, along with a little bit of honey sweetness, but of course, the hops and bitterness are pervasive here. Overall, a nice and crisp, newer school IPA with still a bunch of hop bitterness, all balanced nicely with malts and doesn't contain tons of alcohol - nice to have locally, well after March Madness, but still great! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Foggy Bottom (Eye Street NorthWest), Washington, D.C. on 31-May-2021 for US$3,99, canned on 12-March-2021, sampled at my house here in Washington on 03-June-2021.
