Poured from a 16 oz can date October 14, 2020. Aroma is very hop forward and fruity with notes of tropical citrus, guava, berry and lighter mango, pine and peppery notes. Light cracker malt notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a hazy, golden-orange with a large, thick pillowy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes and hints of caramel. Moderately strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Flavor is rather hop forward with quite a bit of tropical citrus, mango, lychee, guava and dank, pine resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid IPA with loads of hop character in both the aroma and flavor. Its rather juicy, but with a fairly strong dank, resinous bite.

No mention of NE yeast but this must be hazy because it’s hazy. Ratebeer should be world leader in style definitions, but here we are in fucksville, deep sigh! Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally crispness. Light malts, a light creamy sweetness. Modest pine. Light citrus. Modest peel bitterness. Light crispy finish. Tidy but slightly underwhelming:

Tap@Himmeriget Alvarado/Sante Adairius TTO - pours a hazy orange with a white head. Juicy fruity with big punchy hits of mango, tangerine, grapefruit, a lemon wash, soft mouthfeel and medium body, touch of citrus rind bitterness into the solid hoppy finish. Very nice, drinks really well.

Tap at Gourmet Haus. Yellow-orange and solid haze. Patterns nicely down glass. Melon really explodes on the flavor. Great beer with the alcohol non-existent to make this incredibly crushable at this ABV.

Tap at Cap Hop (as Spooky Juice). Pours hazy, slightly dirty, dark gold with a foamish white head. Aroma is fruity mixed melon. Med body. Flavor is juicy, wanna be dank, melon and something white berry. Juicily undry; moderate hop intensity; fruitily bitter. It’s very pleasing.
