Nice IPA well balanced... has some hops... but unique.... Not too bitter... but definitly not on the sweet side. Very enjoyable for the IPA

Can. Nicely balanced with an interesting blend of hop favors and aromas. Nice medium body, not quite "sticky" like other heavily hopped IPAs. Shock your fizzy yellow drinking friends by tossing them one of these. Best canned IPA.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 wlajwl (1460) - Iowa, USA - FEB 4, 2012
Citrus, pine and a mild nuttiness in aroma. The flavor is citrus hops with some pine mixed in, with the finish being a mix of hop bitterness a decent malt background. A very good IPA, the flavor had a great hop bitterness throughout.

Poured in tulip glass to aid aroma. Very little head, and little head retention. Great aroma, not like most West coast IPAs: less citrus and pine, and more of a cat pee aroma in the hops. Almost sweet. Clean bitterness. Not a kick in the teeth, though, just right. Would like to see more hop flavor carry through...would be a good candidate for FWH. Good mouthfeel, not too viscous. Overall, a delightful IPA. Nothing mindblowing but very easy to drink.

Pours a golden hue with a 1 1/2 finger. Aroma is all citrus. Taste follows that us very valences from the bitterness to the sweetness on the backend. Thanks Jon.

Sweet caramel malt and fruity esters complement strong floral hops in the nose. Lightly hazy deep golden coloured body is topped by a generous, frothy, white, fine bubbled head that lasts well and coats the sides of the glass. Citrus and floral hop flavours attack the palate along with pronounced bitterness. Nice malt backbone comes in late to support. Citrus and peach notes grace the lingering bitterness. Medium body has quite effervescent carbonation which keeps it from becoming cloying or sticky. Very refreshing. Tulip glass. Allowed to warm from fridge temperature. Can received as a gift... Thanks, Adam!

Can. Pours a faded orange and light gold color with thick foamy white head. Lots of ripe orange, tangerine and mango notes in the aroma as well as some caramel and pine at the end. The taste starts out heavy on the grapefruit and bitter hops resin flavors along with some toasted malt and caramel rounding it out. The body is adequately carbonated with a bitter, citrus finish. Definitely one of the more full-flavored and well-balanced West Coast style IPAs.
