12oz can. Clear amber color with a big off-white head. Crisp citrus hop aroma with a bit of malt. Bitter hop flavor with tons of citrus and malt calming on the back end. Cheers to another canned beer that really impresses.

Can. Pours hazy orange amber with a nice off-white head. Initial aroma is big, sweet, and fruity- grapefruit and pineapple- later more floral and grassy. Taste is full of pine, grass, grapefruit, and earth, and maybe some caramel if you look hard enough. Medium body, great bitter grassy finish.

12oz. Can: Thanks glkaiser! Aroma of hops, pine, resin, slight caramel, and a hint of malt. Poured orange/amber in color with a large, creamy, dense, off-white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Lightly sparkling. Excellent lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet and light to medium bitter. Tastes of hops, pine, resin, slight caramel, light toasted malts, and some biscuit. Medium body. Smooth texture. Hoppy, pine and toasted malt finish. Very drinkable.

Great pine hops aroma. Nice head. Well balanced bitterness with decent carbonation. Relatively smooth mouthfeel and incredibly drinkable.

Always happy to drink beer from a can, it just feels like all is right with the world. Especially when you consider its delicious. A nice hoppy little number citrus fruits abound. Some seet malty present as well, nice balance.

Can, served in a shaker glass. Pours a lightly hazed light amber with a decent sized off-white head that lasts for most of the glass. Smells of citrus, nuts, caramel, and grass. Nicely balanced flavor with citrus, pine, and toffee. Sweet at first sip but transitions into bitterness. Has a full, coating mouthfeel. Finishes clean and bitter. Quite possibly the most balanced IPA I can recall having, especially from the West Coast. Tons of flavor and body for its relatively light 6.1% abv. Excellent.

Nice, light hoppy aroma...some notes of citrus and pine. Flavor is hoppy with pine, resin and herbal notes prevalent...nice sweet malt backbone to complement the hops. A very nice session IPA.

Can. Dark amber pour. Short white head. Nose is hoppy, slightly piney with sweet malt caramel and grapefruit juice. Taste is piney with more caramel, sweet malts, citrus oils, light grapefruit and spicy hops. Body is creamy, light oily/resinous feel with a medium overall feel on the palate. Ends with more caramel, citrus, spicy hops, light pine and toasted malt. Tasty!
