Got in a trade with GreenBayBA. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours opaquely hazy deep golden/orange/amber color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with amazing retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew, watermelon, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew, watermelon, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew, watermelon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance; and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 6.4%. Overall this is an amazing NEIPA. All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; extremely smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish; awesomely soft feel. Amazing El Dorado profile. Super juicy, vibrant, and lightly dank/earthy hops; with a perfectly balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and top tier quality style example.

16 oz can courtesy of my Brother in Law. The pour is a turbid, fully hazed copper, dirty golden with a well formed two inch off white head. The aroma is bright floral hop, fresh lemon citrus, oats, and a bit of sweet malt. The taste is citrus rind, dirty earthy floral, sweet tart candy, the oat and more floral to the finish. The palate is medium bodied, unfiltered, soft to low carbonation and the floral slightly earthy mineral finish. I enjoyed this more as it warmed. Thanks Brendan!

Can into a taster showing very hazy pale gold with no head. The nose shows moderately intense mango and citrus. Clean and ripe. The palate is lightly carbonated and full bodied. Intense notes of pine resin and light mango with a strong sharp bitterness throughout on the finish. Sweet adzuki malt on the end.

Not a bad American style hazy IPA. Aromas that stand out are Hops and orange juice with some pale malt in the background. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, a little more bitter than sweet with a bit of a medicinal cast in the Finish. Good body.
