Bronze in color pouring with a thin sheet of froth. bright grassy nose and nice grassy clean flavors. Bitterness is crisp in the finish..flavors are clean and super dry. A little fruity essence can be found in the background as well (mango). Nice canned IPA.

12oz can courtesy of Reino poured into a pint glass. Pours a crystal clear golden amber with a small creamy white head that dissipates slowly to a sizable ring and leaves sporadic lacing. The aroma is well balanced with the citrus showing out up front with some grapefruit, orange peel and some grassy hops. There is a also a fairly big caramel sweetness balancing it out. The taste has the same citrus hops up front with grapefruit in the forefront, but it seems to be a bit earthier than the aroma suggests with a sturdy malt backbone that gives way to a finishing bitterness from the hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and fairly prickly with strong carbonation. This is a very drinkable IPA and one of the better beers in a can I’ve had in a while. Very tasty.
