Super hazy golden coloured body with a thinnish pure white head that takes a long time to fade, but leaves a thinnish lace on the sides. Aroma of very dank and resinous hops with a lot of grapefruit, flowers, resin, honey, citrus fruit and tons of sticky sugars with a lot of bitterness and alcohol noticeable as well in the nose. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and floral flavours dominate with a good bitterness, but a superb balance of rich malts and melons that make this both rich in body and rich in hoppy flavours. Aftertaste shows some grassy, herbal and resinous notes with a dry character and some subdued sweetness, but the alcohol and hop bitterness are stronger here, in a good and expected way. Overall, a very nice and balanced almost Imperial IPA that shows some floral and especially resinous notes, but the sweetness and sticky fruits are by far the strongest - very nice and rich throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Springfield, Virginia on 05-June-2021 for US$3,75 sampled in my hotel room here in Chincoteague, Virginia on 11-June-2021.
