Can Shared by Robert @ Stateline. Poured amber color with white head. Aroma is fruity hops. pine and caramel. Taste was similar but a little watered down for my taste. Just ok.

Small offwhite head thats short lived. Clear, copper orange hued brew. Nose is a bit grassy, sugary with some light malt notes. Body is medium with a good carbonation level. Clean. Dry maltiness backed by a light hoppiness, some pine and faint citrus notes, grass and earthyness, light metallic notes plus some caramelly maltiness. Dry, lightly fruity finish, good bite. An ok IPA. Can procured @statelineliquors.

Canned, sampled at SBWF08, Stockholm. Pours out in a amber colour with a rich white foam. Hoppy, fruity fragrant aroma of pine and grapefruit eith touches of apricots and caramel. Medium-bodied with notes of grapefruit, lemon-zest, flowers and pine-needles with touches of mango. Long bitter finish of grass, pine and grapefruit with sweet floral undertones. Tasty!

Pours a lovely orange-amber with a plentiful head. The aroma is at first of hops, then a hint of metal. The up front malt flavor comes as a bit of a surprise following the hearty hop aroma, and backs up the abundant hops nicely - a good backbone for the hops to mingle with. I could drink this often.

This golden ale poured from a can with a large fluffy beige head and a caramel malt aroma. This is a well-crafted brew, as evident in its complex malt base overlaid with tasty, but not overdone hopping. A very enjoyable drink.

12 oz can at Stockholm Beer Festival 2008. Copper color with creamy head. Soft hoppy aroma with mango, apricot and honey. Lots of hoppy tropical fruits in the flavor like mango, apricot and papaya. Firm yet soft bitterness. Tasty and highly drinkable.

12 oz can. Pours a very clear amber with a medium off-white head. Pretty fresh, citrusy hop cone nose with some caramel underneath. Has a solid malt base (perhaps a bit too much crystal malt for my tastes) then a solid piney, grapefruity hop presence. Moderate sweetness level, pleasant lingering bitter hop finish. Drinks very easily - medium bodied, perhaps a twinge light with moderate carbonation. Nice session IPA.

12oz can courtesy of Unclejedi, thanks! nice orange color with a foamy, sticky white head. Smells hoppy, resin, catty, nice. The taste is nicely balanced with the hops not really taking over just blending in to the picture. The mouthfeel is very smooth. Another example of good beer in a can.
