Super hazy golden and peach coloured body with a smooth, relatively tall, single to two centimetre tall pure white head that fades quite quickly. Aroma of grass, citrus, resin and a dose of pine - very nice, all with some tropical fruits and a hint of alcohol towards the end. Medium to Full-bodied; Very strong malt and yeast presence with an almost wheat like feel that is very smooth, but very substantial; However, the hops are right behind with tropical fruits, stone fruits, light resin, a dose of flowers, pine and a dry grassiness towards the end, but the sweetness from the fruit persists and ends very nicely, albeit with a touch of alcohol. Aftertaste is rich and vibrant with fruits, sugars, bitterness from some hops and a light dry grassy flavour, but all of this with a great backbone provided by the malt. Overall, a very nice IPA that is layered in terms of flavours, but shows a great balance of malt and hops and even better blend of hops that shows the flavours without bitterness at all. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville, New Jersey on 22-June-2019 for US$2,99 sampled at home in Washington on 14-July-2019.
