Just like a birthday cake, this beer has layers of velvety and fluffy flavors that build on top of each other. A triad of intense hops fuel the juicy flavor – Galaxy, Citra, and Strata. Together they blend a fruit basket of aromas and flavors such as passionfruit, citrus, strawberry, and peach. Everything is smeared on a balanced and pillowy base of malt and fermentation.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours hazy orange yellow with a fluffy white head. Smells of fresh citrus and tropical fruit. Tastes of tropical fruit and citrus. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

Poured into a grip shaped goblet: color is hazy gold, head is off white and presents one finger thick then dissipates to solid top with some lacing on the glass sides.
Smell is citrus/tangerine heavy, light resin, some herbal notes, hint of pine, light grainy/oat sweetness.
Taste is similar with citrus forward but orange/tangerine like in nature, some pithiness, resin/pine, herbal hop notes, light melon with warmth, lighter grass, grainy malt backbone with some biscuit flavor.
Mouthfeel is lower carbonation, moderate but not overdone sweetness, light/moderate bitterness with lingering sweet/bitter feel.
Overall a solid HIPA on the mass market - lighter on heft/oat/wheat notes with blended hop flavor.

Nice golden color, slightly opaque, head dissipated quickly.
Aroma is superb: coconut, honeydew, tangerine.
This is quite a sweet one and only slight carbonation. Taste follows aroma well.

Bought locally, canned something 21 2023. The month is not visible on any of the cans I bought.
It pours a hazy orange with a 2 finger head of foam, very good retention, good lacing.
The smell is hoppy, somewhat dank, has some melon, rather typical for the style.
The taste is grapefruit, melon, lightly dank, juicy, typical.
Good juicy mouthfeel, this may be a little long in the tooth but is okay. Not worthy of a repurchase though.
