bhensonb (8954) - Woodland, California, USA - DEC 11, 2012
Can from Bine & Vine. Pours fairly dark brown with a slight beige head. There’s a roast malt aroma but the pine/citrus is dominant. Maybe even just citrus cause it’s sort of cat pee. Med body minus. There’s "brown" malt, but the hop is definitely cat pee. It’s not harsh. It’s just cat pee. Damn but it finishes not quite smoothly bitter, and leaves the mouth lightly coated with ...

Tmoney99 (8769) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - DEC 8, 2012
Can. Poured dark brown color with an average frothy white head that lasted and produced fair lacing. Moderate to heavy complex toasted malt and earthy hop aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bittersweet flavor with a solid bittersweet finish of moderate duration. This is a solid complex beer.

hopscotch (8212) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - APR 1, 2013
Can... Crystal-clear, deep, dark mahogany ale with a small, creamy, khaki head that never fully scatters. The aroma offers roasted malts, but features hops and lots of them - cat piss, hemp, grass and flora. Full-bodied with busy carbonation. The flavor is mainly bitter, but provides nutty and toasted notes as well. Finishes grassy and dry. Can courtesy of StFun!

Sammy (7026) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 27, 2013
Brown bodied with lots of retained head. Creamy mouthfeel. Lace map. Hoppy aroma. Very citrus hoppy brown, a marriage of sweetish malts and a full IPA with IBUs to spare. Great drinkability. Hit the spot. Top notch American brown.Nicely designed can, looks like a waterbottle or sunscreen, or both. Thanks Jason Bach.

Thecan is a cool marketing gimmick but the beer inside isn’t that great. sort of a carmally and thin brown ale.
