Can from Bine & Vine. Pours very hazy grapefruit colored gold with a white head. Aroma is mild, somewhat musty fruit - very tropical - including coconut? Med plus body. It is earthy, juicy, coconut, fruity. Melon and tangerine I think are in it. It's fruitly undry; pretty fruitily hoppy; maybe earthy - definitely nicely bitter. Good stuff!

Pour is more of a murky orange with a large white head. Aroma is some citrus tangerine with some neutral grain malt. Flavor is sweet citrus fruits with some peach preserves sweetness on the back end. Very flavorful and citrus forward.

The Aromas are fresh malty beer and minerals. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose slightly sweet up front more bitter later and a mild medicinal finish. Okay body. Decent enough beer.

Can from Bottlecraft at Liberty Station. Pours bright gold with a white head. Mild jasmine aroma. Med body or a bit more. Flavor is slick malt with jasmine. Somewhat towards dry. Moderately bitter. Think there's a little heat. I'm likin' it.

Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is fruit enough for the style. Some peach and pear. Flavor is a fruit juice with plenty of tropical fruits. Big passion fruit. A little bitterness cleans the mouth out for this next sip. This was a fine fruit and bitter IPA.

2nd Edition can from CraftShack. Pours hazy/translucent dark gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is surprisingly malty with some confused mixed fruits. Med body or a little more. Flavor is somewhat roasty malt with mixed fruits. There's a taste that verges on nasty for me - but it's a small part of the mix - which is drier than expected and verging on astringent. Hoppy, bitter, but somehow the mix isn't really pleasing me so much as most hazy IPAs do.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours light, bright gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is primarily bready. Not getting spice or grass, so floral? Pretty light hop! Med body. Bready enough to be more German than Czech. There is a little bit of spicy hop, but likely it's more floral (tho not at all perfumey) than anything. Decent pils.
