Can Pours a hazy amber with a good off white head. The head is froathy and lasting. A touch weak in the lacing department. Aroma of pine, cirus. Good hoppiness. Has a decent carbonation. The flavor is great, spicy, hoppy and slightly bitter. Has a great mouthfeel. The texture is slick. Has a good finish and real good aftertaste. I love the can saying go skiing, go rafting, go fishing, go cans.

IPA’s in a can = win. Picked up a sixer from Midtown. The pour is that bold orange color I love so much from the style. A tall white head forms. The aroma is pretty hoppy, very much in the pine department. Good solid body is a great vehicle for the hops without being overly sticky. A fair amount of bitterness is present, mostly in the way of evergreen and hemp. This is a solid and approachable IPA. I like.

An IPA that knows exactly what it is. Pours rich and amber with a nice white head. Foam sticks pretty well to the glass. The hops in this beer are no joke. Plenty of citrus, pine and resin to go around here. Big but not too big. The only thing missing was something to draw me back from the big hop presence. Alas, nothing. Pretty darn good IPA though. Would drink again at a moments notice if it weren’t so damn expensive.

Not quite sure what the beers look like as I drank this straight from the can and it taste dead with some of the beer IPA’s. The aroma is your typical citrusy type but the taste is very crisp, clean and goes down easy with a hint of the hops lingering on the back of your throat but in a good way. Nothing that is overpowering and I strongly recommend this

This opens with a clear golden body that sits below a tall, thick, long lasting white head. Subdued malt and hop aroma. The flavor while not unpleasant is very low for what anyone would expect from a good IPA.

A very solid IPA. A little too aggressively hoppy for my taste, but then I’m not the biggest hophead around. I drank some from the can and some from a mug. Nose is nice and citrusy, nice foaming head which leaves some lacing just over the nice brown, hazy coloring.

Copper orange clear pour off white head .... lacing aroma of sweet malts and citrusy hops ..... medium to full bodied taste of sweet caramel malts and some citrusy hop taste ..... a citrusy bitter finish little dry ..... a very decent ipa the finishing hops linger and kind of dominate

~ Strong aroma of perfumey, citrusy, resinous, sticky hops with sweet candy like malts ~Pours a clear amber with massive, frothy, sticky white head. ~Resinous hop character in the flavor with citrus grapefruit with a sweet malt backbone. ~Med Body, Med CO2, some hop derived astringency, somewhat dry, ~Well made IPA. Hops blend together nicely. Very hoppy.

Shipped to my by my wife on a trip out west. Sampled from a 12 oz can this beer poured a dark orange-amber color with huge beige head that lingered and produced great lacing. The aroma was sweetish grapefruit and pine with a light nutty undertone. The flavor was solid grapefruity and piney hops with sweet malts, lemon, nut and caramel elements blending nicely beneath the everpresent hoppiness. the finish was long and hoppy. Fairly full bodied. Quite solid.
