Thanks Amy M.!

12 ounce can from State Line, 9/5/22. Hazy amber, medium tan head, average retention. Aroma of pineapple, coconut, vanilla, leafy hops. Taste is vanilla, pineapple, coconut, green hops. Moderate bitterness. Was afraid this was too gimmicky but it works well.

On the mild end of the style, with gentle notes of caramel, toast, and a little apple, followed by a modest green floral bitterness on the finish. Not bad, but doesn’t separate itself from the pack.

Not bad, with ripe mango, grapefruit, peach, and a little white grape leading to a back end full of citrus pith, minerals, and pine. Surprisingly boozy, though; the texture is fairly harsh for the style, even without any hop burn. Weird. Pretty good, but Depth Perception is a much better Terrapin imperial IPA.

Hazy gold pour. Thin foam. Grapefruit pith with floral notes Grapefruit zest palate. Medium bodied.

Lilly nose, mild. Cloudy amber, medium head. Lilly, grass. Medium body, easy carbonation. Simple, not much to ponder, but flavorful.

12 ounce can. Amber orange pour. Frothy beige head. Nice lacing. Sweet toasted malt aroma has notes of brown sugar. Flavor is bittersweet toasted malt, followed by dank, piney hop notes. Stick and chewy. Yum.

12 oz. can, 5.8% ABV, BBD: JUL1122

AROMA: Smells a bit sweet with soft scents of lemon, pineapple, guava, and mango. As the beer warms, I also detect scents of orange.

APPEARANCE: Pours a cloudy yellow-gold, with a medium-high, white head that has a tight froth and no lacing. The head dissipates moderately fast.

TASTE: Initially hit with mild sourness, quickly followed by mild bitterness. Predominant flavors are lemon, pineapple, and pine. I also get hints of orange and guava on the backend. The biggest issue I have is that the lemon really dominates the flavor.

MOUTHFEEL: Medium-bodied with a slightly tacky texture and above-average carbonation.

OVERALL: To me, when a beer is labeled "Hazy", I also think "juicy". This beer is definitely not "juicy". Yes, I understand that "juicy" is not part of the definition of a Hazy IPA. And I actually wouldn't complain about it not being "juicy", if it weren't for the fact that it says "juicy", right on the can! Now, I will admit that the beer is not "dry" either, but rather it is somewhere in the middle of "juicy" and "dry". So there may be others who do consider it "juicy". Just not me. ;)

At any rate, the other qualities of the beer are fine. But they could use some improvement. The flavor profile leans a little too much towards lemon, for my tastes. Letting the beer warm, does help some of the other flavors come out (orange, guava, etc.). But the lemon is still in the spotlight. Additionally, I was a little disappointed with the head. While it looked great as soon as I poured it, I found that it quickly dissipated into nothingness and left no trace that it was ever there (e.g. no lacing).

Over the years, I've enjoyed many of the other beers from Terrapin, but this one is a bit disappointing. It's not that I hate it, but rather that I don't think it is anywhere near as good as their other beers.
