Super hazy, fully opaque straw and golden coloured body with a pretty thick, four to five centiemtre tall off-white head that fades pretty quickly and leaves a thin lace up top. Aroma of light tropical notes with guava, passionfruit, oranges and some grassy, hay notes that show fairly strong in the nose. Medium-bodied; Pretty rich malt notes show at first with a good balance of strong, grassy hops with a lot of alpha acid bitterness that ends with some soft but noticeable sugars from fruits. Aftertaste is clean, fairly balanced and showing some alcohol - probably around the 8 per cent here, but some good unfiltered haze and solid hop bitterness that usually isn't as strong in the newer school IPA types. Overall, a nice beer that has a crisp, dry bite with some floral, grassy and tropically notes that's balanced nicely, has a moderate complexity, yet is easy-drinking. Nice to sample super fresh before heading off to Canada in search of good beer in British Columbia! I sampled this sixteen ounce can, purchased from Wegman's [grocery] in Lake Manassas (Gainesville), Virginia on 19-June-2022 for US$2,33 (as part of a mixed six pack), canned on 19-April-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 28-June-2022.

(Bottle, vintage 2017) Golden colour, slightly hazy, with brief foamy white head. Fruity, sourish nose with lemon, grapefruit, grapes, oak wood, funk, white wine, flowers and a touch of vinegar. Fruity, tart taste with citrus, grapefruit, white wine, grapes, spices, oak wood, barnyard and a dry and tart finish with low bitterness. Almost full body, dry. Fresh and lively, with a generous, but elegant, acidity. Excellent beer!
