I chose to pick up the sixpack of this beer instead of the 22 oz. bombers the store also carried. The labeling on both was the same (i.e., quite psychedelic). When poured into a pint glass, the beer formed a large foamy head that dry hopped ales seem to be pretty good at. The head was thick enough to form a volcano cone above the rim of the glass. The body was amber in color and looked a shade or two darker than the average APA. It was however pretty clear, and did not exhibit much of the touted haze until I vigorously swirled the last bits of beer into the glass. The smell was hops of the pungent, earthy, resinous, and a little smoky kind. The taste of the beer let me down after all that buildup. It was not very bitter, and seemed to have a peaty, sour, and chalky taste. These flavors typically work well in a Scotch or old Ale, but the body here was too thin to have them be the main attraction. I am glad I got to try it, and finishing the six pack will be no big deal, but it’s not all that I was hoping for, and I will probably not seek it out again.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a deep amber with about a finger of white head. Aroma of caramel and citrus hops. Taste is about the same. Lightly bitter. Medium bodied with a decently thick texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, I would gladly drink this again.

Bottle from super market. Amber color, white head. Hoppy taste with fruits, citrus and pine. Very light finish. Pretty decent brew.

355ml can. Pours a hazy, medium amber, white head. Hoppy, very herbal aroma, caramel, spruce, citrus marmalade, grapefruit. Dry, light to medium body, medium bitterness, balanced CO2. Hoppy, floral taste, carmel, mango, malt, resin. Thins out very quickly, a bit watery. (2012-05-05)

Decent flavor - malty and hoppy, piney but not too piney. Problem is it doesn’t last long and isn’t too terribly memorable. Cool name, but more solid than spectacular.

Nice golden color with a descent off-white head that lingers. Dry hop floral-citrusy, slightly piney aroma. Medium bodied and smooth; a nice malt backbone (not too much) with a nice floral hop character...flavorful with a clean finish.

very strong on flavor. hazy golden color with strong, tantalizing aroma. mild webbing left of glass. rich hops, mixed with a citrus aftertaste. clean finish.

I love that this one is available in a 12 can pack now. Poured from 12oz can to pint glass: Looks nice. A mellow, muted gold body with a finger of dense, slightly off white head. Decent lacing and hardly any beading. The nose is good and balanced... earthy and citrus hops cut with caramel and sweet grain. The taste highlights many of the same qualities - again, very balanced and totally session worthy. Overall, this is a solid brew. Not really my go-to style but I’m all in when it’s this good.

Draft. Pours cloudy light brown with very little head. Aroma is completely floral. Taste is crisp with some hop bite on the finish. Very flavorful for the ABV. Awesome apa.

Aroma is floral and very strong. Great smell. Pours cloudy amber. Taste is hops and pine. Good beer.

This smells awesome. Sweet. Somewhat fruity. Very drinkable. Excellent balance.
