Gift from the Thrashmaster. This one surprised me. Very subtle flavour and taste...very smooth pleasant mouthfeel. Uhh...this is from a can? Yes! Got even better as it warmed up. Some of the alcohool was much more noticeable in the finish. Bitter hops here...but nothing too aggressive...just a well balanced, highly enjoyable brew. I’d love to drink this back to back with Shiga Kogen House IPA and compare...both seem uncannily similair.

Sep 27, 2008 12oz can. Pours golden with an off-white head. Aroma is of bitter hops, floral notes, and slight malt. Taste was bitter, but well balanced by the malt flavor. Nice lingering bitterness. The alcohol was well masked. A tad too watery, but easily drinkable.

Sep 24, 2008 12oz can. Light orange color with a small white head. Citric metallic and pine hop aroma with ruddy earthen malt. Piney hop flavors up front, subtle floral components. Biscuit, caramel malt underpin. Soapy, astringent finish with some residual earthen character. Mouthfeel is a light medium, somewhat dry.

Sep 22, 2008 12 oz can courtesy the Belgianbeergal. Pours a slightly dark gold with a thin white head. Nice big grapefruit, floral and pine aroma that fills the room. Nice malt body with grapefruit pine bitterness in the taste. Chewy body, lots of hops. Finishes bitter and hoppy, good ipa.

Sep 17, 2008 Can shared by alexsdad06. Poured clear golden color with an average fizzy white head that lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate sour citrus piney aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium bittersweet flavor with moderate bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. This solid beer did meet my expectations.
