Can from Tavour. Pours hazy gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is citrus, juicy, hinting at zest and dank. Med plus body. Flavor is citrus, juicy, caramel support, with a touch of zest, and it has a somewhat dank finish. Not dry, but decently bitter. Good flavor.

The Aromas are circus peanuts, dark malt and a hint of a vanilla. I think the most common features of an uninspired pastry Stout are dark malt, overly sweet and vanilla. Bingo.

Peanut butter is well integrated here. Roast and cream with some dark chocolate. Black pour with good head and lacing. Bittersweet finish but mostly bitter. Nice.

Yes!! This beer... Everything I love about a great West Coast IPA. Puts all these lame hazies to shame. This is how to do an IPA. Body and soul. Lots of grapefruit and pineapple. Big malt body. Clear golden pour with good head. Bitter ass finish. Can.

Can is date stamped canned in January so it's a little old with a few off qualities but still fairly drinkable.

Canned March 8th 2021.
Pours a not quite clear gold, or is it a combination of gold and orange? The foam is big initially but it stays and stays though at a reduced level.
Big tropical fruit nose with loads of malt. Caramel, yeah, but the sweetness seems to not interfere with that hoppy fruitiness.
The taste IS malty but also massively fruity from the hops. Somewhat bitter, malty sweet, dank as hell, alcohol is there from the obvious warming but I would refrain from calling it hot. A few more sips could change that perception. Imho, this more resembles Dogfish Head 120 than say Moylan's Hopsickle. Shrugs.
Full bodied with adequate carbonation.
Good stuff. 3 more cans to go.

Can (4/12/21) pour from share with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's a hazy (fine particulate mist) golden orange with no sparkle, finger-width off-white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong tangerine, orange marmalade, late herbal component. Taste follows aroma with strong, sweet fruit, pine and much milder late herbal quality but NOT cannabis. Mouthfeel is light bodied with thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, lacking in a number of areas: wrong look for a NEIPA let alone double NEIPA, wrong mouthfeel for same AND, if you're going to name your beer AND put in the description how Hash-like it should be, perhaps it should have some semblance to cannabis. This isn't a bad beer but it falls short in a number of ways.
