Clear, completely see-through golden and barely honey coloured body with a very thick, super rich four to five centimetre tall tan head that stays afloat nicely with a great microfoam that persists! Aroma of passionfruit, guava, deep tropical notes with some grass and citrus fruits as well, with a deep malt behind and some noticeable alcohol in the nose, too. Medium to Full-bodied; Very rich deep malt and alcohol notes dominate here with a ton of bitterness from the alpha acids in the hops, but also the tropical fruits cut through a bit and bring out a dash (albeit small) of sugars near the tail end. Aftertaste is still deeply bittered from all the hops, but a fairly good balance is struck with the deep malt, astringent metallic notes and some of the fruitiness that is derived from the tropically notes and citrus components. Overall, a deep and strong beer throughout that is really a mashup of the old school bitterness and punch from the hops, but the smell of passionfruit and tropical notes that you'd get from a newer IPA. Nice to try, but not one of my favourites here. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 23-August-2021 for US$3,50 sampled at my house here in Washington on 06-September-2021.

$3.50 pint can, Trader Joe's. This one's for Vanina! Who seems to have been fully accepted by Katrina! Golden, slight hint of haze with a frothy off-white head. Lovely aromas of grapefruit, tropical fruit, pine, caramel, floral hops. Orange peel, pineapple, pine, other tropical fruit, resin, floral hops., honey. Quite tasty. A little juicy. Very nice.
