Can from the local Grocery Outlet. Pours translucent gold with a moderate white head. Aroma of green melon and citrus. Fairly dry and quite bitter. Flavor is the aroma and the melon is strong. Different and tasty.

Can from the local Grocery Outlet. Pours light gold with a transient white head. Aroma is light and mixed tropical and berry. Arguably med body. Dry. Malt well obscured by citrus, berry and a little summer fruit. Flavor seems both thin and strong. What can I say? Bitterness persists into the finish. One heck of a session ale.

Can from a Grocery Outlet in West Sacramento California. Pours hazy gold with a monstrous fully whitehead that persisted. Aroma seems tropical, but has a lot of peach. Medium body.
It’s juicy with pale stone fruit and green melon. A light touch of earthiness. Lightly sugary with enough bitter to balance. I really like the flavor.

Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 21B: red IPA). Can 35.5 cl - Batch 13:19:54 NKC-J (BB: undeclared - packaged on 06/04/25). AROMA: medium-low to low hop notes (pine, slight peach). medium malty background with caramelly notes. slight isovaleric. APPEARANCE: orange-ish amber color with fine particulates in suspension. medium ivory head, creamy, with good retention. TASTE: initial medium-low to low hop flavor (pine, slight fruity), followed by a medium malty background with a light caramel character. medium-high bitterness with a semi-dry to dry and bitter finish that persists. TEXTURE: medium-body with medium carbonation. slight astringency. OVERALL: a red IPA where the hops started to fade so demands retasting.
