Can from La Riviera. Pours very hazy grapefruit juice color with a foamy white head. Aroma is dankish citrus and seems more like "blood grapefruit" than blood orange. Med + a bit for body. Flavor is juicy mixed citrus. Not tart. Very hoppy. Heading for dank. Malt not detectable for me. Hop burn on tongue. Juicily undry. Citrus bitter - but not harshly so. Pretty tasty ale!

Capped 750 from La Riviera. Pours dark brown with a transient beige head. Aroma of raspberries and dark malt. Med + body. Flavor starts with raspberries, displays dark not really sweet malt, and then shows some earthy oaky wood. It's pretty dry; it's moderately sour; it's raspberry bitter. MIght well be a sour/red brown. I'd vote for that. Good stuff. So far seriously underrated.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated 04/26/2018. Aroma is moderately hop forward with mango, passion fruit, orange, grapefruit and pineapple with light resin note.s light grain notes with some fruity esters. Pours a super hazy pale, dull, yellow straw color with a medium sized, medium thick, pillowy white head that recedes to a thin film that lingers. Moderately high amounts of lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with cracker malt and oat notes. Moderate to moderately strong bitterness. Some mango, pineapple, orange and grapefruit with light resin and hints of dank. Light watery, bitter notes in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent hazy IPA but it needs some work. It's a bit watery and the hop profile could be a bit more intense. Nice fruitiness though with some nice esters. I believe the recipe may have changed - the can lists the hops as Citra, Mosaic and Denali and makes no mention of added juice.
