Poured from an undated 16 oz can.
Aroma is hop forward and fruity with notes of passion fruit, berry, tropical citrus, mandarin orange and grapefruit. Lighter dank, oily resin notes. Light cracker malt and alcohol notes.
Pours a hazy, dull, murky, straw color with a medium large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers.
Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Medium high bitterness with light alcohol notes. Fairly hop forward and fruity with lots of grapefruit, tropical citrus and mandarin orange. Lighter passion fruit and berry notes. Some lingering, dank, oily, piney notes in the finish.
Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid hazy IPA. Good hop notes in the aroma and flavor that are juicy but also quite citrus forward with balanced dank notes as well. Bitterness balances out the malt sweetness nicely and the alcohol is fairly well hidden.

Capped 500 from Corti Bros. Pours hazy orange tinged gold with a nice creamy white head that persisted. Aroma is hoppy - a lot of citrus and a touch of funk. Med plus body. Lightly sour; hoppy; nice level of bitterness. There's a deal of funk, and I think it's mostly Brett and certainly not pedio. A very nice flavor.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours clear dark mahogany with a large creamy tan head. Aroma of darkish toffee, chocolate and a bit of grapefruit. Med body. Foamy carbonation. Flavor is pretty much the aroma with a bit of spice. Very nice.
