Slightly hazy deep golden and bright orange coloured body with a thickish four to five centimetre tall off-white and creamy tan head that's microfoamed and fades slowly. Aroma of citrus, flowers, dry grass, deep rich malts, pineapple and tropical fruitiness with some alcohol noticeable in the nose, but a bunch of hop bitterness, too. Full-bodied; Very rich malts dominate with a lot of citrusey flavours and complexity with some good sweetness, but even better richness that's derived from the fruits and balances quite nicely with the bitter hops and the alcohol that's definitely here. Aftertaste shows a ton of flavours, a lot of complexity and a wide range of flavours with the citrus and tropical fruits the strongest, all on top of the nice malt backbone and sweetness that comes together at the end, all with a great bitterness from the alpha acids, without being pungent or assertive. Overall, a VERY nicely constructed Imperial-ish IPA with great flavours from the hops, a perfect balance, great level of sweetness and alcohol and somehow an even better can and graphic on front! This one was great and fresh from New York and if you like the style, definitely get this if you can find it! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Bread & Honey in New York (8th Ave @ 56th St), New York on 22-August-2021 for US$6,59, canned on 12-July-2021 and sampled at my house down in Washington on 20-September-2021.

Hippy, citrusy juicy, dry
