Poured from a 16 oz can dated May 4, 2020. Aroma is hop forward and super fruity with lots of melon, passion fruit, mango, guava and tropical citrus. Light cracker malt notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a hazy, dull, dusty, straw color with a medium large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Medium to medium light bitterness and a hint of alcohol spice. Fairly strong, juicy hop notes of melon, passion fruit, mango and tropical citrus with lighter dank notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol. Overall, a really juicy IPA with a ton of melon and tropical fruit aroma. Flavor is slightly less juice dominant, but still really nice. One fo the better hazies from Temescal.

Poured from a 32 oz crowler purchased today. Aroma is a balanced blend of malt and hops. Quite a bit of cracker, biscuit and caramel with lighter woody, grassy, herbal hop notes. A slightly fruity, vinous note. Pours a hazy, copper-orange with a medium large, medium thick, frothy, white head that recedes quickly to the edges and lingers for a bit. Medium light lacing and no legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light caramel malt and lighter notes of cracker, honey and biscuit. Medium light bitterness and faint alcohol. Light woody, herbal, grassy hop notes. A slightly odd fruity, grape note that lingers a bit in the finish. Mouthfeel is light bodied and a bit watery with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a bit of a disappointing beer. The odd grape note is weird and it's pretty thin and watery. Malt profile and hops are decent.
