Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a large, super frothy tan head, about seven cetimetres tall, that doesn't seem to fade fast at all. Aroma of crisp candy sugar, resin, pine, pineapple, mangoes, oranges and a little dose of light hops and bitterness. Medium to slightly Full-bodied; Strong rich malt hits at first with a relatively pungent grainy and deep profile with some mango and even melons to add support to the relatively rich body of the malts, with some sort of funky and almost fruit-based candy sweetness with oranges, mangoes and papaya notes cutting through as well as some of the resin, but the fruits add the most sweetness. Aftertaste is clean, very sweet, quite deep and malty with a lot of fruitiness and decidedly not much bitterness. Overall, a decent enough IPA with a bunch of malt/body and rich fruity sweetness, but not much hop bitterness or complexity. Nice to sample, but probably not worth getting this one, as it doesn't add anything to the IPA conversation. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 24-October-2020 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 05-November-2020.
