What's on the Can: "The beer formerly known as 'The Cloud Juice is Real AF'. We have tightened up the recipe to our newest standards and rebranded it. This tropical haze bomb bosts stone fruit and pineapple notes!

Keep Cold. Drink Fresh. Unfiltered and super hoppy, sediment is normal so let it settle and leave it behind. Always pour into a glass. Cheers LCB Brewmaster!"

Where distributed: Local Craft Beer can be found in California.

REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy golden orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered; lots of sediment at the bottom of the can. White head; good lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Pleasing stone fruit and pineapple with complementing oaty malt. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Blend of malt and tropical to start. Transitions to a burst of stone fruit and pineapple. Aftertaste is all tropical. Very drinkable for 9%. 4.5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-full bodied, good carbonation. Very juicy with trace dry tongue. 4.5/5

Overall (20%): An outstanding Double IPA. I have not heard much (yet) of this particular brewery or company, but this was an impressive New England-style beer. If I see more IPAs from this company, I'll try to get them for more beer science. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.5/5
