16 oz can. Aroma is cantaloupe, biscuity malt, freshly chopped wood, garden peas. Pours murky burnt orange with a giant pillowy cream-white head that recedes slowly. Taste has a mild pithy bitterness that builds a little bit on the palate. Some savoriness. Alcohol hidden fairly well. Creamy mouthfeel.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: orange to copper color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: piney to grassy to grapefruity to black pepper hop tones; light clean caramel/toffee malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet hoppy to malty quality; finishes piney and a slight edge of grapefruit
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; pretty smooth along the tongue; some bitterness assertiveness
Overall: nicely done West coast IPA worthy of coming back to.

Aromas are citrus pith, pine resin, malt and herbs. Flavors are similar to nose. Citrus comes out more with good carbonation and is more sweet than bitter. Been done many times before but still very drinkable.

16oz can from Tavour . Hazy yellow pour, long lasting fluffy white head, sticky lacing. Zesty, citrus aroma, pineapple. Taste enters with a big, tangy, dank bite, grapefruit, pineapple, floral, with a slow developing dryness. Finishes rather quickly after that. It's a real mouthful , chewy, flavorful, bright.

Aromas are resin, citrus rind, caramel malt and burnt match heads. Flavors are similar to nose with citrus and burnt match heads coming out more. Full bodied with great carbonation. Bittersweet finish. Good beer.

Can to becher pint glass
Appearance: cardboard yellow to orange color with a two finger white foamy head sliding off to leave some messy lace
Aroma: lime pulp, tropical fruit, grassy hop spice, and a little bit of pine
Flavor: zesty sweet meshing the prior noted aromas, mild aftertaste of lime and tropical fruit
Texture: almost medium bodied but just a touch under, mostly a sipper, zesty lime and tropical fruity finish
Overall: I dig this NEIPA, it's different but it's one to return to.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: orange tinged to amber color with barely any head, no lace
Aroma: marshmallow, peach, cherries, pineapple, coconut and oranges
Flavor: combines all the prior mentioned aromas together creamy sweet, long aftertaste of peaches, cherries and marshmallows
Texture: medium bodied, between being a sipper and sessionable, peachy/marshmallow and cherry finish
Overall: this is a pastry sour ale, it's a good one as that. This is not a Berliner weisse no matter how one slices this. Still, I could come back to this for me.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt yellow to ruddy orange color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated to leave some messy lace
Aroma: resinous all the way through, clean malts, touch of floral with more warmth
Flavor: bittersweet combining all the prior mentioned aromas; clean resinous aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper; yes to a resinous finish
Overall: a NEIPA which more or less bleeds resinous hoppiness, I would definitely return to this.
