Oct 8, 2008 Can courtesy Taverner - thanks! Clean pour with a one finger white head. Aroma is not over the top like most IPAs, but is rather subdued, and very pleasantly so. Good mix of IPA notes in the aroma as well...pine, citrus (grapefruit) and flowery hops are all there. Flavor is also above-average...resinous hops abound with some lemony and citrus flavors as well...and there’s a decent malt backbone to keep things in order. Slightly watery on the palate, but it almost seems appropriate to have an IPA from a can a bit watery and very easy to drink. Fairly impressed by this offering...better malt backbone than is found in most ’single’ IPAs

Oct 8, 2008 Can. Musky pine-hop aroma. Clear pale gold with very active carbonation up to a stead thin head. Good lacing. Flavor is balanced citrus hops, somewhat dry, but with even bitterness throughout and good grain presence. Sharp and assertive, but not overpowering.

Sep 17, 2008 Can shared by alexsdad06. Poured clear golden color with an average fizzy white head that lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate sour citrus piney aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium bittersweet flavor with moderate bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. This solid beer did meet my expectations.
