Canned July 22nd.
Pour is on the warm side so there's lots of foam sitting on top of a really really pale liquid.
Oh my gosh, that smell is so full of noble hops with a little bit of bread sneaking through. Saaz dominates.
Mmm...it tastes as good as it smells. Noble hops tickle my palate, it literally screams Czech/Bohemian Pils. No faults that I can detect.
Mouthfeel is better than I expected from a 4.5% abv brew.
This is bloody amazing!
Canned maple and cinnamon.

Pour looks like orange juice with a small white head. Aroma is a pretty decent tropical fruit juice. Flavor is an even better than I thought it would be tropical fruit juice with even a little bitterness on the back end. This is super fresh so I'm sure that helps but this is a above par hazy pale ale.

Got aromas are Vanilla granola. This might be the best vanilla beer that I have ever had. The vanilla is so clean, natural and balanced. Great carbonation and that works to balance and just enough bitterness to complete the picture. Very nice beer.

Pretty much what the brewery's description describes: Slight sweet at first with good carbonation and and a little growing bitterness towards the end. Good body and finish. Tasty beer.

Pour is a light gold with a huge white head. Aroma is bready pale malt. Flavor is again more bready pale malt. Hops are faint but herbal. A decent beer for chugging but not thinking about it.

16 oz. can traded by tfontana, thanks! Canned 04/28/20. APRIL!! Really pushing that 90 day rule! Aroma when warm has resinous and floral notes. Flavor has weak grapefruit, mild floral, and comes off lightly perfumy. Thin body and texture.

Both the Aromas and flavors are a nice blend of citrus, dank, and resin. Low bitter at first but coming on more in the Finish. Goodbody and easy drinking. Nice beer.

Can (4/28/20) pour from Friar Tuck, Crestwood. Appearance is lightly hazy, golden yellow with tons of sparkle, 2-finger width white foamy head with good retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is lemony citrus and pine, milder late tropical fruit. Taste is more piney bitter than anything else (Hello, C hops) but tropical notes and citrus sneak through; cracker malts. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation and fairly dry, crisp finish. Overall, piney bitter West Coast IPA roots show off more than anything but some fruit becomes apparent. A bit thin. Good strength of aroma and flavor for an APA but would have liked a little more malt presence.
