3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
12 fl oz / 355mL can into a pint glass. Served cold.
Aroma: Same hoppy profile in Hopshock. Not as strong, but definitely that same piney, citrusy northwestern hop profile. Subtler hop profile, and a little bit stronger malt.
Appearance: Clear dark amber. White-ish head quickly dissipates.
Taste: Delicious balance between those hops and the malt. The arrival is citrusy, piney hops. The finish is some nice, sweet malts. The in-between is where the magic happens.
Palate: Medium body, short-medium finish.
Overall: Great beer for getting people off of AB InBev and miller-coors swill. A nice introduction into craft brews. However, it also stands well on its own. Quite good.

Can. Deep orange pour, very slightly murky. Off-white head with a little lacing. Lots of caramel and earthy malts in this - hops are there, pretty good balance, but I would say the malts are slightly more up-front than the hops. Decent brew.

Can from Total Wine enjoyed for breakfast by the Wigwam pool, with a fresh orange to make it a complete breakfast. I thought this was really tasty and refreshing with lots of citrus hops and a strong malt backbone. Plus the canning is a bonus for the pool.

On tap - Pours clear amber with a thin white head. Nose is grapefruit and pine with a clean malt base. Taste is the same with some nutty malt and a herbal hop finish. Big and fluffy body...thinnish. Real tasty.

12oz can. Hazy, caramel color, good & adhesive. Slight aroma, not too strong - "homebrew-y" aroma, finishing hops. Tastes remarkably like my homebrew, as well. Sort of a standard pale ale, but nice and full-bodied with a pleasant aftertaste - I can’t rate it below what I’d rate my own stuff!

From a can. Clear copper, splotchy white head. Smells hoppy, citrus and green, a bit floral. Taste is citrus, some bready notes. Maybe some off, stale flavors, too. Not bad...

Had this poured from tap at SanTan brewing in Arizona. Amber pour with creamy head. Mild hops. Good citrus and floral notes. Easy drinking and possibly session beer
