Poured from a 16 oz can dated 02/22/2018. Aroma is very hop forward with lots of tropical fruit and hints of citrus. Lots of mango, passion fruit, guava and melon notes. Light resin notes and hints of cracker malt notes. Pours a hazy yellow gold, with a medium sized, thick, pillowy white head that recedes to a thin film that lingers. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with light cracker malt notes. Medium bitterness and moderately strong hop notes. Lots of tropical fruit with light citrus and resin. Mango and passion fruit mostly with a bit of melon and guava. Light alcohol notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice IPA. I like the hop profile a lot and the base beer works well with the hops.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours hazy/juicy gold with a white head. Aroma is citrus/tropical or perhaps the reverse. Juicy. Med body or a bit more. Flavor is juicy, about even citrus and tropical. Seems to have a touch of passionfruit bite in the finish. Juicily undry and pretty bitter, tho not harsh. Good hop bite. Quite nice.

Tap at Cap Hop. The pour is hazy/juicy with a white head. The aroma is dank/juicy. Mostly tropical? Wowsas! Med + body. Flavor is very dank/juicy. Some citrus, but mostly mixed tropicals. Think I can parse out passionfruit. It’s juicily undry, very hoppy, but only halfway to harsh bitter. Excellent.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours hazy dark gold with a white head. Aroma of tropicals - plus citrus. Juicy. Med body or so. Flavor is juicy, heading for dank, citrus - to include lime, and pale malt - amazing I can find it. This is hoppy stuff, bitter stuff, but not harsh stuff. There’s a nice citrus twist in the finish, but I can’t figure it out. Quite delicious.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours brassy gold with a white head. Aroma is quite tropical for me. Passionfruit? Med body at least. Flavor is clean tropical, and I think passionfruit is in it. A bit of a “spice” snap. Juicily undry. Bitter enough. The flavor is quite delicious.

Tap at cap Hop. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Chocolate aroma. Med + body. Flavor is earthy dark chocolate, some supportive dark malt, definite dark coffee, and some bitterness. Not all that dry, but the flavors tend to keep that under control. Nice porter.
