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.

Bottle; poured a really nice looking amber color ith a medium to large, and firm, white head. Aroma was a nice blend of citrus, grapefruit, pine, herbs, and BO, with a bit of caramel and toffee. A bit buttery in the flavor, which was not great. Some nice pine and citrus, but a bit too much of the unpleasant maltiness. Still it was a pretty solid beer overall.

Can, $2.15 at Wine Warehouse, Charlottesville. Pours an amber-orange with a small off-white head. Mainly pine in the nose, with some grapefruit. Heavy, bitter pine flavor.Some lingering pepper in the finish.

Colorful can. Pours monstrously chill-hazed orange with a lacy white head. Aroma of apricots with a smidge of grapefruit and tofee. Medium body and low carbonation. Sweet taste of toffee citrus and fruit, with a dry pine and grapefruit finish. You might disagree with the hops profile, but this beer delivers what IPAs are supposed to do. Well, that plus the chill haze.

Qiuite possibly my first IPA out of a can. As someone previously mentioned a novelty purchase at $13.50/6-pack at Cape Wine and Spirit in Lewes, DE. Tastey IPA but nothing mind-blowing here. A solid IPA but nowhere near worth the price.
