12 oz. can dated 2-20-19. The foam has really kicked up, largely owing to the fact that I, um, dropped the can just before opening it. But I managed to avoid a gusher. As the foam settled, I picked up a tropical fruit nose, partly pineapple and mango, after an initial light hop grassiness. Gold color with just a little bit of haze under the foam. Taste is embraceable. A standard IPA bitterness with that touch of tropical fruit that would mark American hops. Pretty sticky malts to pair off against the hop bill. Slightly bigger than a session beer, but it still finds balance.
