Can from Trader Joe's in Davis, CA. Pours clear, bright gold with a moderate creamy white head. Aroma of earth, melon and a bit of orange citrus. Med body. It's ever so slightly less than dry with orange citrus, green melon and a herb/earth aspect. Nicely bitter. Excellent.

Very crisp, almost perfectly clear golden coloured body with a very thin, off-white head that fades very quickly and doesn't leave much up top at all. Aroma of bitter hops with some floral notes, a little citrus and an odd chocolate (milk) note on the maltiness right behind which is fairly noticeable and a bit robust. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and citrus flavours show at first with some lime notes, a dash of papaya and mangoes and a little bit of flowers right behind with some rather rich malts and sugars that provide a nice backbone and bring out a rich character at the finish. Aftertaste shows a lot of soured candy with some limes, mangoes, a bit of passionfruit and a light papaya note that adds to the richness and complexity at the end, with a dry grassy finish and a bit of malts that show through just about everything. Overall, a pretty nice IPA with some tropically notes along with a dash of mangoes, papaya and a lot of lime flavours with a good deal of bitterness and richness for the style with some pleasant bitterness throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Fairfield, California on 07-March-2022 for US$3,75 sampled in my hotel room here back in Fairfield, California on 11-March-2022 before heading home.
