Fairly hazy deep copper and bronze coloured body with a large, five to six centimetre tall deep tan head that lasts a long time. Aroma of lactose, tons of guava, mangoes, pineapple, tart berries, cream, very deep malts with melon and papaya seemingly adding to the body, and yes, a hint of passionfruit in the nose. Medium to Full-bodied-ish; Strong citrus and fruit flavours dominate here, with a lot of lactose, cream and rich malt body coming through, along with a slight sweetness and even a tart fruit note as well, but there is a great balance of malt and hops here for sure. Aftertaste is rich from malts and from flavours with the papaya, mango and melon notes the strongest, along with a bigger bite of sweetness and some hop bitterness coming at the very end. Overall, a nicely done, lactosey IPA with tons of fruit notes - most of them tropical, but the balance is struck right and finishes nicely! Good to sample very fresh, from the West Coast, bought in Pennsylvania, but sampled here in Washington! A reminder of Hawai`i for me, a place I haven't been in more than a year now! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Gettysburg Beer Mart in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on 12-May-2021 for US$5,99, canned on 08-April-2021 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 17-July-2021.
