Pours coppery with a two finger, fluffy, off white head. Aroma is citrus and piney hops. Flavor is dominated by the hoppy bitterness with not enough malt to balance it out. Thats great if you enjoy hop bombs like me.

Can. Pours deep copper to deep gold at bottom of glass with 2-finger fluffy white head. Nose is huge hops, melon, grapefruit, mango, berry....marvelous aroma in this!. Tastes very hoppy, mangoey, tangeriney, with caramel malt and strawberry. The nose and flavor in this remind me a lot of Stone 10, but it falls off a bit late and becomes a bit muddled. Nonetheless, this one is a great IPA, with hops out the ass.

Aroma is slightly vegetable, but mostly passion fruit and malt sweetness. Taste is sweet, slightly onion on the flavor. A bit of wateriness, some passion fruit, and biscuit. Finish is bitter, and lingers. Solid.

(Sample Date: 2/17/2009 Source:Other) 12 oz can. 6.1-6.7% ABV Citrusy hop aroma with some orange blossom and light toasty graininess. Clear light orange golden with big fluffy white head. Grapefruit hop flavor with hefty bitterness along with caramel malt flavor. Dry almost puckering bitter finish

Canned. Body was deep copper with a dense light khaki colored head. The aroma was obvious with the grapefruit and even hints of pine resin. There was also some almonds and a little bit of rubber. The taste was dense with lots of grapefruit and some sweetness of almonds to balance it out. Certainly plenty of citrus to keep the hop character up front. A big brew that is pleasant to drink with it’s lightly toasted malt balanced body. Solid and nice to see this in a can.

Smells sweet and piney. Pours with decent creamy white head. It has a biting, but nice bitterness. It lacks a little malty backbone, but is not too bad. The hop character lacks a little character, but quite good. I could drink this quite a bit.

Can. Poured a orange color with a decent white head. Aroma was pine, citrus, grass, grapefruit. Flavor was floral hops, some bitters. Bitter aftertaste. Decent beer.

Can, first IPA I found in a can, $13 seemed alittle steep for a six pack, but it is a great IPA. Good hop aroma and a sweet bitter after taste.
