Refrigerated 12 oz can, canned January 31, 2022 poured into a glass. Hazy light orange with small white head. Aroma is wheat esters, medium body, medium carbonation, and some small bubble lacing. Taste is wheat esters and a little spice.

Fairly hazy golden and light amber coloured body with a nice two to three centimetre tall deep tan head that fades very slowly. Aroma of herbal, grassy and especially dank, resinous hops with some alcohol noticeable as well, without any real sweetness in the nose either. Medium-bodied; Grassy, herbal and very perfumey hop flavours dominate at the beginning with some soft biscuity malt and even wheat notes, but only a glimmer of sweetness and fruity aspects, without any real complexities on the end, either. Aftertaste is dry, very perfumey and grassy with a slight bitterness from the hops, but the main note here is the flowers, which seem stronger than any point before and give off some bitterness, but nothing too pungent, especially for the style. Overall, this one is missing something (or maybe a few things?), with malt, sweetness and some fruit or citrus notes, being a big factor of that as well. Decent to try, but not one of their better IPAs! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Washington (Foggy Bottom, Eye Street NW), D.C. on 31-May-2021 (Memorial Day) for US$4,99, canned on 23-March-2021 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 10-July-2021.

Growler from Falls Chuch Solace Outpost. Poured a hazy golden yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was big citrus, bitter pine. Lots of orange. Really pleasant stuff. Enjoyed this a lot.
