12 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours hazy/cloudy orange/amber color with a 1 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of bright citrus/tropical/piney hops and moderate bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit, and floral/grassy earthiness. Good sized pine/citrus rind bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon/orange rind, pine, wheat, biscuit, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of bright citrus/tropical/piney hop and moderate bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance with no astringent hop flavors after the finish. Moderate amount of dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, sticky/resinous, and fairly creamy/bready balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a damn nie wheat IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of bright citrus/tropical/piney hops and moderate bready malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
