OK, it's a cheap can of IPA. All IPA should be cheap, they are all imitations of each other and after all, it's a man's kind of drink, no? Of course, it pours hazy pale, otherwise why call it hazy? Just asking. Yea, it smells like a fresh cut pine tree with all its sappy glory when you pop the lid. Taste is the same; hey, let's drink a beer that tastes like the sap of a pine tree? Why not? You got to enjoy it, no? Well, this is what you have here, another state-of-the-art IPA that tastes like a gahzillion other IPA out there. Negative effects on the mouthcoating attributes. Oh well. Sometimes I think sweetwater is a little behand the times, but I know they have a couple of other IPA out there that tastes pretty much the same. Long live IPA and: Long live the bitter pine tree finish. There you have it. Go figger.

Light orange color, orange on the nose. Taste is a mix of beer and orange kool-aid. Crisp finish. Easy drinking.

As I leave the almost perfect convergence of being the No.1568 rater and having 1569 ratings, it is time to taste a new IPA. Gone Trippin' came from the singles display at the nearby HEB. I will continue with the Belgian style tulip glass, why change? The appearance is a dark orange body topped by a heroic head of off-white foam. The smell is plenty juicy, I think I know the direction this one is going. I take a drink, actually this beer is more a moderate combining of WC and NE styles. Tropical as in tangerine, mango and then some grapefruit, hay and white bread. The sweetness level is not bad and certainly there is a decent bitterness. An okay brew actually going the better way.

An overdose evening on hazy ipas. Because that is what you can find that is new. A 12 oz can coming from a Total Wine, no idea which one. I have a snifter receiving the pours tonight, this one is a medium yellow-gold with an appreciated head of almost white foam. Tropical in scent with bits of pine and citrus. The taste follows along in sync. Mango, citrus, white bread, malt, enough hops to register and certainly more sweet than bitter. Not as good as the last NE style I had and possibly better than the next one. I think I am wearing out.

Big ass (19.2oz) can from Luekens Wine & Spirit, Seminole. Mid-gold/orange colour, little bit hazy, a small white head. Sugary aroma, smelled of sugared dried mango and some citrus, but the minutiae of the aroma aren’t discernible. Mostly sweet taste, more mango, light bitterness mid-sip to the finish. Thin body for the ABV, and less carbonation than I was expecting. All in all it’s kind of disappointing, it’s nice enough but for a DIPA I would’ve liked a lot more of everything.

Not bad but I thought the hop elements were a bit restrained. Tropical fruit and resin were there though. Resinous palate, a bit sticky/spicy. Balanced sorta in the malt profile, not sweet, not overly dry. Its OK.
