Canned@SBWF2007. Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is flowery and fruity hops. Flavour is bigtime toffeeish malts which changes into more and more grassy hops into the finish. Pleasant and dry!

Can- pours a light golden with good clarity and nice white head. Nose- spicy citrus hops and sweet malts. Taste- citrus hops are in forefront but not overpowering. Pretty big butterscotch flavour - pretty strong diacetyl going on. Tasty enough though but the butter is a tad much. drinkability is decent, and body and carbonation spot on. Finishes clean from the bittering hops.

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

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.

12oz can. Pours golden with an off-white head. Aroma is of bitter hops, floral notes, and slight malt. Taste was bitter, but well balanced by the malt flavor. Nice lingering bitterness. The alcohol was well masked. A tad too watery, but easily drinkable.

12oz can. Light orange color with a small white head. Citric metallic and pine hop aroma with ruddy earthen malt. Piney hop flavors up front, subtle floral components. Biscuit, caramel malt underpin. Soapy, astringent finish with some residual earthen character. Mouthfeel is a light medium, somewhat dry.
