Hazy amber pour. Thin beige head and spotty lace. Pine and light citrus. Flavor follows suite.

Can. Pours orange gold with huge, fluffy ivory head. The aroma is sticky pine and a refreshingly tart citrus. The flavor is lightly orange with some pine and honey. There’s a nice assertive bitterness to it, but it’s pretty smooth and balanced out by the mild sweetness. There’s a note of toast there at the finish, and a dry aftertaste. Quite refreshing.

THE best canned IPA ever! Better than Gordon! Better than BFOD! Better than DPA! It just works! Nice soapy head, on a copper pour. Fresh and floral. Lots of grapefruity notes. Finish is bitter, but clean.

12oz can. Dark gold pour with a little orange, very clear as well. Pretty good head retention, sort of a dirty white color with a decent lace. Smells good, lots of pine, sort of a metallic aroma hidden underneath, very faint, but it’s there. Big blast of bitter hops right up front, it lingers for a bit. Good IPA. (970)

Can. Amber with a small head. Aromas are toffee, pine and spices. Clean and peppery with some woody notes. Flavours are sweet toffee and oranges with herbal notes. Sweet and resinous grapefruit with bitter green pine. Peppery with grapefruit pith on the finish. Good.

Can. Pours light orange with a small head. Big aroma of grass and caramel and piney hops. Balanced crisp hops with a very malty smooth toffee body.

Can. Pours with a creamy bone colored head over a just slightly hazed harvest orange body. Aroma is nice and hoppy, pine, and grassy/spicy. Taste is herbal, grainy (nearly astringent), and grassy. Decently bitter. Not as nice of a hop profile or presence as the aroma. Lightly soapy. Light bubbles, water like viscosity. Decent.
