Comments: Strongly bitter, leafy, citrusy and straightforward IPA in the classic American style, but with a solid malt backbone.

this is a good American style IPA, but what’s the fuss? Unbalanced, can-conditioned, great aroma c-hoppy with bubbly head and grapefruity body, carbonation and mouthfeel average. A hophead feed, but I have had higher IBU that is more drinkable.

Thanks to Ty5592 for this one. Wow, another awesome canned beer! The pour here is clear deep coppery ruby with a 2-finger fluffy white head. Great look on this one. The aroma is malty, with piney hops, cabernet notes, and a lot of citrus fruit. The taste is bready malty, with big fruit and hops, including prominent tangerine and black pepper notes. Very complex palate, with a good heft. Arguably the best canned beer I’ve ever had, and not arguably one of the finest beers I’ve ever had.

Can, courtesy of Skyview! Poured a fiery, very autumnal shade of reddish-orange with a tall, sticky cap of beige head. The aroma was quite delightful.. caramel, toffee, and candied apricots sprouting and array of light fruity, floral, and pine hoppage. Flavor didn’t skip a beat.. beginning with bitter apricot and grapefruit.. followed by the sweet caramel and toffee base.. ending on more vibrant fruity and piney bitterness. Long, darker bitter finish. Medium-bodied on the palate with a syrupy foray.. high and well-presented bitterness throughout. This was crafted beautifully, and was just what I was looking for.

Can at Blackfriars at my leaving Glasgow night and at chris_o’s pre GBBF TASTING!!!!!!! Aroma is exactly what i want from the american hop resin and caramalt. Taste is similar, super hoppy, just america hop goodness.

Can. Pours clear amber to dark copper with a medium, creamy off-white head, fair retention. Aroma is huge citrus, floral, pine hops with medium, caramel sweet malt, light fruity esters, and light alcohol. Flavor is medium sweet malt, huge hop flavor (pine, citrus, floral) with light alcohol and a dry finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation.

16 oz. can poured a clear tarnished copper with a lingering ring of amber foam. Aromas of carmel, tangerine, pine and light tropical fruit. Palate was medium bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of carmel, pine, grapefruit and light orange zest with a crisp lingering bitter finish.
