Undated can from the brewery, drunk 7/18/26.
Some mildly fruity yeast mixing with fruity, green, woody, lightly juicy Amarillo. Citra softens/rounds it, but I don't get much Mosaic. Smells dry. Lots of cracker/biscuit. No big lush maltiness (no honey, rich white bread, that sort of thing). But clean, with no resin.
Is still quite malty in the mouth, though, unexpectedly (lots of rich white bread). Good bitterness, albeit quite low, with clean, flavorful malts and lots of Citra and Amarillo. Pretty straightforward; maybe a bit more dry hopping or hop intensity would take it up a notch, but it's still a perfectly well-made IPA that can compete with the upper tiers.

Can at home. Orange pour kinda crystallized looking which I guess only makes sense to me. Nose is mango and orange. Tastes of tropical fruits, pineapple, orange, mango, some herbal tones. Milky palate. Fruity finish
