Draft at Westover Beer Garden. Poured a slightly hazy yellow, muted notes with a small, wispy head. Aroma was huge apricot, big peach rings. Super juicy, this really reminds me of peach ring candy. Nice tartness but not too sour. Very easy to drink.

Can: pours sort of hazy orange with white head. Aroma is citrusy, muddled hops, maybe old? Taste is sweet, ambiguous fruitiness. Low bitterness.

Crisp, very clear golden coloured body with a super thick, eight centimetre tall soapy, tan head that's very ugly and leaves a nasty lace on the sides. Aroma of light spice, grass, perfume, hay, flowers and a tiny dose of curry leaves, with a plastic-y note, like what you'd smell from a garden hose in the summertime. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong perfumey and grassy notes dominate with some coriander seed, hay and very floral finishes, but the curry leaves and that plasic-y flavour that isn't so bad, but is very distinct and one that I've never tasted in a beer - this must be the aromatic saffron. Aftertaste is crisp with a hay, grass and very perfumey finish that has a lot of very nice, soft, nuanced flavours that hit well and still present a very enjoyable (light) bitterness from the hops here, with some small sugars at the finish, but the spices do very well here and make this complex, 'different' and very enjoyable throughout. Overall, a very nice IPA throughout, especially with the saffron spice, great to have locally and well-recommended if you can find it! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Wegman's Grocery in Alexandria, Virginia on 13-November-2021 for US$1,99 (part of a mixed six pack), canned on 07-December-2020 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 19-November-2021.

Month old pint can A: Quite hazy pale yellow gold with a tall, thick, lasting white head and elaborate lacing. S: Bright fresh citrus aroma featuring grapefruit pith and zest with powdery sweet notes of wafer cookies and faint caramel. T: Lightly bitter but surprisingly tart with just as much tart berries as bitter grapefruit and lemon citrus. Malt aspects identical to the nose. M: Fluffy, creamy mouthfeel with light body and vanishing finish. O: Delicious mosaic showcase. Really shows off both its berry and citrus aspects. And by far the best hazy I've had in a long time.

Fairly hazy, but very light golden coloured body with an average two to three centimetre tall off-white head that covers the top nicely, above the hazy golden glow. Aroma of tons of tropical fruits, passionfruit, mangoes, pineapple and even some lychee notes are here, with a light hit of wheat or light malts - very nice in the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Crispy fruity flavours dominate with some pineapple and mango notes up front, then a light dry quality from the malt, but ending with a slightly subdued sweetness and bitterness that bring out some more character - especially at the end. Aftertaste is fairly crisp and dry, especially for the style, which perhaps is due to the malts used here, and even shows a slight fake sugar/aspartame quality near the very end and finish. Overall, a pretty nice IPA that has a very tropically nose and the flavour is fairly well-balanced, yet with nice notes throughout, especially the fresh hops. Good to sample this one locally and a decent, not flawless option, if you can grab it! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Reston, Virginia on 14-June-2021 for US$3,25, canned on 21-May-2021 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 16-July-2021.
