Slightly hazy pale straw color. Full white head. Light pale golden malt aromas. Plenty of cucumber in the flavor and the touch of hot pepper is noticeable as it warms up. Light beer with sthe me interesting flavors.

12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 5/30/2017. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lime, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper, pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/tropical/fruity hops and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lime, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper, pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lime, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/fruity hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from lingering bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/sticky, and slightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is a great session IPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/fruity hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Very vibrant and fairly dank hops; with a nice malt backbone for the ABV. Very flavorful and never watery feeling. A very enjoyable offering.

500mL can, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of resinous hops, caramel malts, and light candied sugar. Flavour is a bit abrasive, with piney and resinous hops, harsh alcohol, and perfume. Messy and perfumey on the finish. This one isn't too convincing.

Tall can at Brian’s office. Aroma is flowery with some sulfur notes. Taste is similar with herbal notes. Not bad.

Cloudy. Not much head. Has a bit chewy and stale hop aroma. The palate is about the same, with more chewy stuff, alcohol, and it’s a got a touch of toastiness. It’s ok, but lacks brightness.

Can at MC Zurich. Pours hazy amber. Aroma is strong tropical fruit, mango, pineapple, passion fruit, light onion. Body is strong, sweet and quite bitter, but there is not much residual sweetness left. Lively carbonation, but not many flavours, except onion and tropical fruit. Sweet fruity palate. Quite a letdown after this delicious nose!

Can hazy yellow with a minimal white head. Smells like a mix of Tropical Punch and lemonade, watered down of course. Lightly fruity with a sour finish. Meh.
