Very hazy, golden and straw coloured body with a thick, ugly and large-bubbled tan head, about five centimetres tall that fades very quickly. Aroma of bright tropical fruits with guava, mango and light dragonfruit all here with some noticeable hop bitterness and dryness as well - very nice in the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Very clear and soft, easy-drinking flavours at first with some oranges, a dash of mangoes and a subtle kick of hop bitterness here as well with a light floral and grassy finish, but clean and mild throughout. Aftertaste shows the relatively soft crisp hops nicely with an even easier-drinking malt bill that really only shows flaked wheat and some crisp biscuity notes, but the fruit flavours at the end seem stronger. Overall, a nice, super easy-drinking and soft IPA that almost feels/tastes like an APA and seems devoid of alcohol, in a good way, but enjoyable in hop notes that aren't bitter - super new-school! Great to sample, especially all the way down here in Washington and super fresh, only two days after purchase! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Costco in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 14-October-2022 for US$10,99/four pack, canned on 02-September-2022 and sampled at my house here on my oldest daughter's 10th birthday - Happy Birthday Claire, on 16-October-2022.

Dry January brew #1. Gold pour and frothy white head. Nose is sweet cereals. Tatses of cereal, hay, mash, lemon. Has that NA aftertaste. Not bad.

Pours murky mango into a tulip. Bright white conglomerate head with excellent retention recedes leaving scant sheets. Hot mango and passion fruit aromas. Soft with hot tangerine, passion fruit and dusty pineapple rind front to back. Dirty tropical fruit skin finish.

16 oz. can. The aroma is pineapple and mango. Flavor is orange, pineapple, mango. Juicy texture with very soft bitterness. I gotta admit I didn’t expect much here. I don’t really like this for anymore. I gave him another chance. Pretty decent!

Pours hazy amber with a big fluffy white head. Aroma of orange, grapefruit, some lemon. Taste has more pine, in addition to the citrus and citrus oils from the nose. Palate has much of the same, citrus-pine mix, some sweetness that lingers on the tongue. Good.

Can, from Trader Jos's, Manhattan. Pours hazy rich dark yellow with a small foamy whitish head, mango-peach aroma, medium carbonation, mildly bitter orange-peach taste, smooth thin body, long flavorful finish. Very smooth and flavorful.

16 ounce can. Nitro version. Pours like a Guinness. Opaque dark brown color. Creamy finger-high tan head. Roasted malt nose is subtle. Soft, creamy mouthfeel. Flavors of roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. Smooth and flavorful. Light to medium bodied. Tasty.

16 ounce can. Hazy orange gold color. Frothy beige head. Tropical fruit aroma. Flavor is bittersweet citrus, stone fruit and rustic bready malt. Medium bodied with good flavor and decent hoppiness.
