12 ounce can from Stein’s Lincoln Street, 12/18/21. Hazy orange, medium off-white frothy head, good retention. Aroma of pineapple, canned tomato, mango. Something off. Taste is pineapple, mango, kiwi, pale malt. Juicy. It’s not the freshest beer, canned 9/22/21, but it shouldn’t have fallen off this quickly. Okay…

Grapefruit sourness, with a dank background. It works, but it’s a little oxidized, otherwise solid. Sk adventkal

12oz can pours a translucent sunflower yellow with just a ring of white head. Nose is big lemon, oily hop, herbs, Vitamin C. Flavor has some stale grist, then lemon and a VERY clear grapefruit note now, a little sweaty, a little salty. Finishes tart, but dry on the tongue with a little prick. Decent enough.

Undated can from cooler, drunk 12/7/21. Looks great. Pale, white golden-to-maize with a small, fluffy, white head that fades slowly to cover. A bit mosaic-y, with soft pine, floral notes, lemon and such. Nothing to juicy or explosive here, and yet it's pretty soft and endearing with no booze or twang. Light cotton candy, bubble gum and honey with more cracker and tangerine skin on the end. Soft and yet crackery, with plentiful mosaic-like character and a fair amount of bubble gum. Fuzzy and with high attenuation, a bit too much cotton candy, probably and lingering floral/herbal notes. The pine and tangerine combo is endearing, as is the super soft texture, but it's just a bit too cotton candy-heavy, almost saccharine-like. I'd like more juicy hop and less estery yeast character.

Canned 10/21/21, drunk 12/7/21. Moderately hazy, tangerine-maize with a large, rocky, well-retained, white head. Floral, pine and grassy notes emanate from the mosaic and amarillo, while the citra help add a deeper and softer juiciness of tangerine, orange and lemon. Bare, cracker-like malts and hints of mineral and bubble gum from the yeast with no booze or twang. Soft and malty but very well-attenuated, with just touches of honey and mostly biscuity malts with juicy tangerine and pineapple balancing pine and bitter melon. It's not particularly bitter, nor resinous at all, and yet the complete lack of malt sweetness still makes me want just a touch more honey-like character. Otherwise, other than the moderately bubble gummy yeast, it's clean and lovely.

Very hazy golden and straw coloured body with a thick, four to five centimetre tall pure white head that stays afloat for a long time and leaves a nice, but subtle lace on the sides of the glass. Aroma of grass, citrus fruit, especially lemons with a sweet bite and some cleanser notes along with a very fresh malty and clean scent. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and very crisp citrus scent with some enjoyable bitterness up front with a nice sweetness and some floral flavours as well, but the lemons and assertive citrus flavours are dominate in a good way. Aftertaste shows some soft sugars, a crisp and very floral grassiness with an easy-drinking maltiness which of course does not have any spices or squash noticeable, in a good way, as this is a clean IPA across the board. Overall, a nice and enjoyable, easy-drinking, but still full of flavour, a very nice option for the style and a good choice for the trip to New York! I sampled this sixteen ounce pint-sized can purchased from Wegman's in Woodbridge, Virginia on 02-November-2021 for US$1,99 (part of a mixed six-pack) sampled on the train to New York on 02-December-2021 with my family.

Canned 11/2/21, drunk 11/25/21. Heavily, bordering soupy-hazy, bronze-brass. Small, somewhat dense, white head atop shows moderate retention. Tons of fruity and bubble gum-like notes with hints of what I at first thought were lactose, but I'm hoping not. Maybe just the interaction of yeast and a very healthy malt. Hops aren't explosive, but do offer tangerine, light pine and softer melon. No twang or booze. Phew, no lactose, and it's much, much less yeast-driven in the flavor than the nose would suggest. Lighter in body, with cracker and just specks of honey-like malt sweetness. Pine, tangerine, herbs and lemon on the finish. Soft and malty with high attenuation. No booziness, big acidity or hop twang. Lovely.

Ridiculously hazy golden and raw honey coloured body with a thin, single centimetre tall ghostly white head that fades fast to barely cover the top. Aroma of grass, citrusey hops, alcohol, candy and a lot of alpha acids and bitterness from resinous, sticky hops - very nice! Medium-bodied; Candy-like sweetness at first of fruity candy that fades and gives a tiny maltiness, but some floral and grassy notes then come in and provided dryness, but it all ends with the dryness and bitterness from the hops, showing much more than any malts. Aftertaste is clean, very dry, very fruity, super hoppy and bitter (very old school, nice!) with a lot less maltiness than you'd expect for all the high alpha acid hops, but it's very nice and quite drinkable. Overall, a well-structured IPA that reminds me of the style ~10 years ago, where there was a race of hop much hops/bitterness to add while not adding to the alcohol, maltiness, body quotient and this personifies that, in a good way! Very nice to try, especially as summer is hitting! Good fresh from New York via Manhattan! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Manhattan West/Hudson Yards), New York on 02-May-2021 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 14-May-2021.

Very hazy golden coloured body with a luxurious, three centimetre tall rich just off-white microfoamed head that stays atop nicely, for a long time. Aroma of grass, pepper, yeast, bread, flowers, a dash of tea and some nutty malts - odd on the last one! Light-bodied; Dry profile with the malt and slightly biscuity notes front and centre with a light touch of apricots and fruit noticeable, without too much hop flavours detected, aside from a slight grassy and peppery finish. Aftertaste shows the balance fairly nicely with a soft malt and hop profile that makes this seem as slightly watery or watered down in terms of pungency, but the yeast and breadiness sort of pokes through near the end. Overall, a decent enough IPA that's on the lighter side in terms of alcohol of course, but also in malt, hops and relative complexity. Not too comparable to most other beers and was nice to try, but not really recommended with all the other better IPAs out there! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Wegman's in Lake Manassas (Gainesville), Virginia on 07-March-2021 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 20-March-2021.
