Pretty hazy golden and straw coloured body with a thinnish, one to two centimetre tall off-white head that fades slowly, but leaves a nice lace on the sides. Aroma of super pungent cantaloupe and honeydew melons (not my favorite) with a big kick of grassy and perfumey hop notes towards the end with some alcohol present as well. Medium-bodied; Rich, melony and fruity flavours shows at first with a lot of dry, fruity and herbal elements towards the end with a lot of complexity, but not much bitterness, especially for the style. Aftertaste shows some softer grassy and floral notes in conjunction with the rich melon fruits and ending with a light bit of residual sugars and only a tiny bit of bitterness. Overall, a nice enough and relatively pungent IPA with more melons than traditional hops or bitterness, but nice throughout and a good one to sample in the heat of Florida's May! I sampled this sixteen ounce pint-sized can purchased ABC Fine Wine & Spirits in Lake Buena Vista, Florida on 30-April-2022 for US$6,39 sampled while at my hotel here in Bonita Springs, Florida on 03-May-2022.

Draft sampler at the 2022 Rocky Water Brew Fest. Pours a super cloudy applesauce color with a white head. Very hoppy aroma. I don't taste anything juicy or hazy here. This is just a plain bitter IPA.

Draft at the brewery. Pours cloudy dark golden yellow color with white head. Aromas of citrus and tropical fruits. Bitter grapefruit rind, apricot, and melon flavors with a hint of pine. Medium body with average carbonation.
