Pours a hazy, fresh-squeezed orange juice color, with smallish head that dissipates rapidly. Aroma has a touch of juicy fruit gum, some citrus and tropical fruit, grass, pine/spruce hops. Flavor is a bit on the chalky side, with citrus and tropical fruit elements. There's a fairly bitter, hoppy taste to the finish. Good, though rather unremarkable.

Pours a hazy, mustard-gold color, with minimal head. Aroma is grassy, with some bready dough, a touch of citrus, and some tropical fruit. Flavor is sweet dough, with pine/spruce hops, citrus and tropical fruit. It's fine, though not particularly remarkable.

Pours deep mango into a shaker. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes to coat surface leaving scant sheets. Glitter looks more like sediment? Coconut and sour citrus aromas. Soft with sweet coconut and caramel upfront turning thick mango and pineapple before the lasting pith finish. Becomes a bit cloying as it warms. And sour coconut is a bit odd.

Can, freshly bought, undated, drunk 12/26/18.
Heavily hazy, brass-golden with some slight copper tints. White head fades quickly to ring.
I was real high on comet, like top 3 IPA hops for me, but recently it's been very underwhelming, so ive been reconsidering my stance. This certainly did not help reinforce it. It's clean and not resinous in the nose, but that's about the extent of what you can say. Just not much there. Lemon, lime, tangerine, some very light pineapple and mostly base malt, biscuit and yeast. Maybe it's just too old? The cans just came in to the shop, but you never know since they DIDNT FUCKING DATE STAMP IT.
In the mouth it's soft, maybe a bit on the sweet side, or maybe that's just because it's so underhopped. Very low bitterness, some light spicy, strawberry, black tea, lime-mango and lemon with just such low flavor. Honey-biscuit from the malt practically outdoes the hops. Otherwise, it's clean and not resinous or alcoholic, at least. Mostly engaging carbonation. Reasonable attenuation.

Bottle at the brewery: pours golden with a white head. Aroma is hay and straw and all those farmhouse smells. Taste is sweet, hay, grass. Not bad.

Can drunk 9/14/18.
Ugly grey puke. Soupy with an off-white head showing good retention.
Citrus, mango-pineapple juice up front in the nose is quite aromatic and surprisingly enough, given the appearance, there's no sign of oxidation that I usually attribute to massive discoloration.
In the mouth it's full of sweet, rich, deep malts adding rich honey to lime, mango and ruby red grapefruit. Just the right amount of everything here though maybe a touch sweet if I had to nitpick. Lime, lemon, grapefruit character adds bitterness and juice in great proportions and full flavor, lingering nicely. Yeast adds light watermelon/melon but doesn't go overboard on the ester. Soft and malty texture with engaging carbonation and no resin or scallion. Flavors continue to pile on and impress. Like a delicious Vic Secret/Citra-bomb in citrus smoothie form.

Pours hazy deep gold into a t. Bright white head with good retention recedes to skim surface. Mango and pineapple aromas. Soft with sweet mango and pineapple front to back. Lasting pith finish.

Can drunk 8/31/18.
Heavily hazy, dark brass-bronze with orange/ruddy hints and a small, off-white head atop showing moderately-low retention.
Big tropical fruit and fruit salad-like bouquet from the hops with lightly sweet and biscuity malts balancing nicely behind it. Juicy nectarine, apple, cherry and lightly spicy Galaxy all work towards a nicely integrated and harmonious hop character, with little/no resin or pine. Alcohol is well concealed, as well.
In the mouth it's soft, juicy, full of cherry, lemon, mango, lime, spicy Galaxy, mineral, honey. Basically the hop complexity is off the charts here and it's all utilized very well, showing no resin or other sharp edges. Soft, supple malts balance nicely and the yeast adds light fruitiness without any big or obnoxious bubble gum notes. Biscuit and cracker from the malt works with the tight carbonation to add drinkability and crispness on the end. Lingering lime, spice, cherry and mango. Really nice stuff. When 4 Quarters nails an IPA/DIPA, they really nail it.
