Aug 4, 2008 Can, courtesy of bulletrain76. Pours a nice med size white head, beautiful golden color, with hits of mango. Left a dry taste to me, one of the better IPA’s I’ve had, almost as good as Green Flash. The can seems to deliver a nice fresh beer.

Aug 4, 2008 Golden amber body with a 1 finger white head that leaves lacing.
Smells nicely hoppy with a touch of sweetness.
Lots of citrus hops in the flavor with a fair amount of fruitiness. Juicy. Relatively crisp. Lingering bitterness. Slight bit of astringency that doesn’t quite work for me mid-palate. All in all though, good.
Mouthfeel is just carbonated enough. Clean but rich.
Overall, recommended. Not my favorite IPA, but still a very solid one.

Jul 27, 2008 One of the new cans from BevMo. Pours copper with a large off-white head. Aroma is massive. Very floral. I can believe pineapple. It’s really something. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is floral bitter over malt. Finishes that way. Seems balanced. Not a run of the mill IPA. It has unique flavors - or at least a unique hop profile.

Jul 22, 2008 Updated: Aug 23, 2008From the can, pours an attractive clear copper with three finger frothy cream colored head. Nose is sweet, yet hoppy, floral and pineapple. The flavor is the same, with a clean slight bitter finish. Very nice IPA.

Jun 24, 2008 An old rating i finally got to entering. Aroma was some earthiness and some hops. Flavor was thin and lightly bitter.

Jun 10, 2008 Gift from the Thrashmaster. This one surprised me. Very subtle flavour and taste...very smooth pleasant mouthfeel. Uhh...this is from a can? Yes! Got even better as it warmed up. Some of the alcohool was much more noticeable in the finish. Bitter hops here...but nothing too aggressive...just a well balanced, highly enjoyable brew. I’d love to drink this back to back with Shiga Kogen House IPA and compare...both seem uncannily similair.
