3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20Straight from the can to my mouth, so lets just give it a 3 for appearance.resious pine needle bomb. A little husky grain and caramel sweetness action in the nose, but for the most part the beer’s character is dominated by sticky sappy pine needle hop oils, etc. Typical resin bomb. Meh, not my thing, but better than most of the ’nano’ canned ipas of recent. Certainly better than that rye diacytal bullshit Renegade canned. At least this is fairly clean, no low fill, and properly carbonated. Overall, crank yanker isn’t bad just boring, not my kinda hop action.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Can. Pours a clear copper with a half finger of off white head. Settles instantly with minimal lacing. Aroma is hoppy, bitter, and citrus with a strange background, mildly soapy. Flavor is mildly hoppy, bitter, slightly sweet and medicinal. Aroma promises more than the flavor delvers. Soft carbonation, medium-light body, and smooth texture. A decent IPA, though a bit lacking in body and texture.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
I don’t know why this is getting rated so low. At least out of the can, it has limited head but a pleasantly bubbly carbonation, a brilliant clear orange color, and is not a bad IPA. Granted, the nose is a bit indistinct, but it has quite a nice, refreshingly balanced sweet-bitter hoppiness.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Lots of pine resin to this one. A bit of bitter citrus. Straight-forward American IPA. Tasty and doesn’t make you think too hard about what you’re drinking.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Crushed out of a 16 oz can. Excellent. Pours a clear orange with a fluffy white head. Initial sulfur/cheese hop aroma fades into a nice, fruity damascenone. More fruity hops in the flavor. Bready and balanced, with a finish that disappears quickly. A decent ipa.
1.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Clear amber with a small soapy white head. Oh god. Overly malty. Tons of off flavors in this, Cotton candy. Ethanol. Rotten melon. Seriously? Is that even rotten melon or what the efffffff is that? Jesus. Scroll past.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pour out of 16 oz can, thanks Aaron. Dark orange red pour with white head, aroma brought notes of pine, orange, hints of pine, grass, slight caramel, toffee, slight spice. Taste is a mix of sweet orange, grapefruit, toffee, caramel, hints of spice, pine, grass, finishing fairly sweet, slightly bitter. Ok.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Can in Vail, picked up at West Vail Liquor. Pours a bit hazy, dark orange appearance with a tan head. Fairly bitter, orange citrusy, light ethanol, a bit resiny aroma. A bit chewy, slightly malty, bitter herbal, light citrusy, slightly solvent/ethanol flavor. May not have been super fresh (best by 2/2013) and despite the mild solvent/boozy notes, this was a fairly decent ipa.
4.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
The hops and malt give this beer a great aroma of flowers and a slight toast. The bitterness from hops is not overdone in this beer but complimented by a nice maltiness along with a clean finish that lingers for awhile (in a good way). I found this beer to be complex yet balanced. I picked it up at Lukas Liquors in 16oz cans. The beer guy said it was new to the store. I will drink this beer again for sure.
