From the can, gold pour, white head. Aroma is sweet malty and hoppy goodness. Flavor is earthy and enough a hop balance. Good stuff.

Mildly cloudy copper colored pour. Sparse trace of white suds on top. Average carbonation bubbles from bottom of the glass. Fragrant, fresh floral and pine hop aroma. Nice lively IPA that's not too heavy. Hops and malt are well mixed. Pine and resin hoppy flavor, biscuit malt and a bit of melon taste. Lively tart, oily mouthfeel, average carbonation, dry hoppy sour finish. Good IPA, melon flavor not my favorite though.

Very nice IPA. Nicely balanced with the malt, with the bitterness being prominent as it should be. A floral / pine bitterness, which I enjoy because I’m not a fan of over-the-top pine bitterness. And made locally here in Chicago, another plus. On tap at Mollie Malone’s in Riverside, IL.

In a can! Light IPA , easy to drink without being overpowering. Harvest gold in color with a solid white rich head that fades slowly. Craft beer in a can! From Chicago

Draft to taster. Looks alright; light for an IPA though. A transparent gold with thin white lacing. Smells and tastes solid too; lots of hops. Nice and light on the palate. An easy-drinking IPA.

On tap at Nano Brew Cleveland. Pours a clear orange-light brown with a thin white head. Aroma of pale malts, earthy hops, light fruits. Flavor of sweet malt, bitter grassy hops. A little bland for such a highly rated IPA. It’s drinkable but nothing too special.

Pours a hazy gold with lots of carbonation and white head. Aroma is citrus hops and some maltyness. Nice thick malty backbone of caramel. Very balanced with sweet almost sugary tasting hops. Very tropical fruit citrus heavy hoppyness to this one, but its well balanced with the malts, not as hop forward as some. Excellent stuff. Probably the best beer i have ever had out of a can.

Can thanks to joshmcg000. Clear orange pour with a 1-2 finger, creamy eggshell head. Aroma of caramel, berry flavored candy and fruity, citrus and floral hops. Flavor is very much like sampling Cascade/Centennial IPA straight from the fermenter, while dry hopping. Tons of fresh hop flavor, lots of bright fruity citrus, but kinda raw yeast-wise and with lots of residual sugar sweetness. Throw in some caramel and crystal malt and that’s pretty much it.Not that that is a bad thing, other than being a bit too sweet, but the fact that the sweetness makes it like fresh hop juice - if hops had juice - makes that ok. Light to medium body with a slightly syrupy feel on entry, with a light, but sharp carbonation, leading to an off dry finish, with a slightly acidic feel. Pretty damn good overall, the hop notes are a little one dimensional, but very bright and fresh.
