3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a lovely orange-amber with a plentiful head. The aroma is at first of hops, then a hint of metal. The up front malt flavor comes as a bit of a surprise following the hearty hop aroma, and backs up the abundant hops nicely - a good backbone for the hops to mingle with. I could drink this often.

orangish red with large white head, moderate carbonation for the style. citrusy hop nose that could be more pronounced. flavor initiates with moderate bitterness before floral, spicy and citrusy hop flavor that is very complex and lingers for awhile as it mixes with the alcoholic warmth in a sea of pleasantness. the finish is dry with mild malt sweetness. a very nice IPA, pleasantly surprised

Thanks Brewdad for a chance at this one. IPA in a can, Yay. Poured a very clear and filtered dark yellow/orange. Smell was great, nice tropical notes, bitter as well. Taste was hop forward peach and mango, just enough balancing malt with a big bitter finish. Great beer from a can, up their with the best canned beers I have had. Nice IPA here.

Tin. Poured amber with a medium lasting foamy white head. Wonderful fruity and floral aroma. Hoppy flavour with notes of fruit, citrus, citron and toast. Lasting hop finish. A good repeatable IPA

12 oz can purchased as a single at Oliver or Twist in Platte City, Missouri. Pour is mostly clear copper golden with a two inch off white head. Head is lasting, when it falls it leaves behind nice lacing. Aroma of fresh citrus (orange and pineapple) and resin hops with a nice caramel malt backbone. Nicely balanced nose. Taste is more resin than citrus, but is certainly the hops out of the gate. The resin is earthy and woody. The caramel malt is big as well. Balance is nice, as with the nose. Palate is medium, pretty heavy IPA mouthfeel. Carbonation is low, and the finish is minerally, almost dirty. Nice enough IPA.

Pours orangey from 12 oz can. Formed little to no foamy head. Aroma of hops, caramel, flowers, and lightly toasted malts. Yummy, flavour of light caramel malts, hops with some pine resin character. Nice and grassy, with a slight citrus ending. Rather smooth beer, glad I have two more in the fridge.
A well made and flavourful IPA!

Wow...I love this style of IPA. This isn’t a nice East Coast "Let’s balance the beer with malt" IPA. This is a West Coast "screw the malt and load this up with hops" IPA. Aroma was a little weak but was all grassy hops. Pour was a nice medium gold with a thin off white ring for a head. Taste was all grapefruit, grass and citrus hops with no malt. Great beer!

12 oz can from Spirits Red Bank. Poured a clear golden orange body with a large rocky off white head. Aroma of citrus, toast, caramel, slight hint of nutts, grassy hops. The body has light carbonation a medium mouthfeel and finishes dry with some lingering bitterness. The flavor if basicaly the same as the aroma with citrusy hops that don’t overpower the toasted nutty malts. This one is odd in the fact that it hints at being an English style IPA with the dryness and malt notes however the hops come through just enough to keep it from being average. Good stuff.
