Ever so slightly hazy copper and bronze coloured body with a thinnish, off-white head, only one centimetre tall. Aroma of literal candy (not mountain? candy) with a lot of fruit, caster sugar, resin, flowers, hay, oranges, mangoes and even some pineapple. Medium-bodied; Deep fruity hop notes show very strongly with a lot of curacao, full oranges, mangoes, dragonfruit and papaya notes hitting at first with a good deal of leftover fruit and sweetness, some light dry and floral notes towards the end with a great balance of malt and some light hop bitterness at the end, but very mild. Aftertaste is elegant and layered with fruit and malt - no bittering flavours at all, just a great balance of sugar, malt and fruit - very nice and incredibly mild as a hoppy IPA! Overall, a very nice and smooth, fruit-based IPA without actual fruits in the mix! Great to sample, way better than I was expecting and nice for the style! Drink fresh if you can find this one! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 06-March-2020 for US$3,75 sampled at home in Washington on 14-March-2020.

5 week old pint can A: Poured a big pillowy white head on a very finely hazed pale yellow body. Excellent retention and sheets of lace. S: Herbal hops, hay, grass. Malts are bread and light corn. T: Follows the nose closely with grassy herbs upfront then pepper, overtaken by corny sweetness in the finish. M: Light and fizzy but leaves a surprising amount of resin to finish. Detracts slightly from refreshment. O: Not bad. Nice hop flavor but the corn aspect is too strong IMO.

Draft at The Casual Pint Falls Church. Poured a clear orange color with a small wispy off-white head. Aroma was mild tropical fruits, mild grain. Pleasant juicy character. Light floral notes, touch of bitterness.

Orange nose. Clear golden, thick head, good lace. Orange and grass. Medium body, easy carbonation.

Fairly clear copper and light orange coloured body with a very thin, one to two centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, light biscuity malts with a light grain and subtle alcohol scent with no real hop bitterness, at least in the nose. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy, citrus and light herbal hop notes show at first, but without any alpha acids, however, some mellow biscuity malt and subdued caster sugar sweetness comes through, as well. Aftertaste is very clean and exceptionally easy-to-drink, with only som light orange and mellow sugars coming out at the end, with no real hop bitterness or any other complex notes at all. Overall, a super easy-drinking, non-bitter IPA that doesn't show any alpha acids or real juiciness, despite the name. Not worth grabbing, since the style is usually done much better than this, but i'm happy at least I got to try it!

Lilly bouquet. Clear golden, thick head, good lace. Lilly, grapefruit, rosehip. Medium body, easy carbonation.

Gold pour with tropical fruit nose. Taste of orange and grapefruit with hint of zest in the flavor. Sweet and refreshing palate

Pounder: Guava nose. Cloudy orange, big chunks of sediment, thin head. Juicy orange. Full body, easy carbonation. Tasty but didn't deliver the expected complexity.
