LIght amber color with a smallish, slightly creamy, light ecru head. Aromas of grapefruit and wet grass. Start has a bit of caramel and is quickly followed by dry grain, citrus and grass. Just a hint of fruit. A decent IPA.

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.

I needed a can to bring to a NASCAR event and this IPA was suggested. What a winner! And in a can! Nice but very strong piney nose. may have lost points because I couldn’t see it. Slight malt buildup sits down as you descend into a wonderful bitter lemongrass finish.

Nice, left coast IPA with all the fruity, resiny hops one could want and a decent malt assertiveness to hold it together.

Amber, lasting off white head,small bead. Citrusy, light cat piss nose. Dry grapefruit hop profile, lightly astringent. Good body/malt backbone. Medium strength lasting hop finish. Great lacing on glass. Quite good

Poured a copper color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of pine, floral hops, citrus fruits, and a bit of caramel malts as well. Taste of citrus fruits, pine resin, caramel malts, and a grapefruit, bitter finish.

Pour is an orange with a small almost flat head. Aroma is is hoppy with more of a sweet malt taking over the hops profile. Flavor is where the hops kick in. Hops dominate most everything from the first sip to the swallow but finishes quite dry. A decent offering but quite expensive at $11.99 a six. Probably paying for the novelty of the can.

can courtesy of SamuraiArtist...pours a rich burnt amber color with a fluffy white head...super small bubbles...aroma is intense piney hops, dried herbs, grassiness and sweet malts. flavor is similarly resiny and grainy balanced out with the caramel malts.very creamy mouth feel.
