12oz can, out of one of their fancy new (?) brown boxes... either way, this seems very very fresh. Pours a deep, hazy copper-orange color; very light tan head, fluffy, with excellent retention, mixed-bubbled lacing; a lot of texture on the top. Huge, juicy, citrus hop aroma: not oranges or lemons, this one shows huge pineapple and grapefruit notes, lime, along with a bit of tangy citrus tartness present from the beginning; a beautiful, very lively aroma; like living in a pink grapefruit. Lively, spritzy in the mouth; plenty of effervescence without being sharp; juicy, generous orange and pink grapefruit bitterness carries things here: lightly oily, very tangy and alive, this tastes like it came straight out of the fermenter; lots of tongue-numbing hops at the front; a delightfully fresh IPA with a nicely dry core; very very impressed by this. If anything, too forward with the pink grapefruit hoppiness - it treads that line. Long-lasting finish of grapefruit, orange bitterness, with a nicely toasty end.

Dec 23, 2009 Poured yellow/orange with off white head. Nose of grassy and slight citrus hops, tastes of grassy and citrusy hops as well with a little bitter on the end. Overall a decent session, not amazingly strong in any flavor.

Dec 16, 2009 Can. Slightly different label than that in the picture. Mine says 7.0% ABV. Pours a hazy, pale rust color with a thick light-tan head that leaves rings of lacing. An aroma of oranges, rinds, grapefruits, and pine. A pleasing smell that isn’t overly harsh. The taste is equally pleasant. A decent-enough malty backbone with a hoppy side that leans more toward juicy oranges and tangerines rather than bitter grapefruitiness. Thin to medium-bodied and very drinkable.

Dec 13, 2009 hop and malt aroma. nice straw and complex hop flavor that still isnt overdone. brew is light amber with a creamy appearance particularly to the white head, though it does not come off that way too much in the mouthfeel which is only a bit slick and soft. just a nice malty and hoppy brew with character. the alcohol is not apparant and there is a moderately lasting bitterness that is a touch chalky. me like!

Dec 13, 2009 Easy drinking IPA. Nice aroma of orange citrus, with a taste to match. Refreshing. Good bitter finish reminds one that it is an IPA.

Dec 12, 2009 Not much aroma to it. Very clear copper color to it with head that goes away fast. Good IPA with a hoppy taste and crisp finish

Dec 1, 2009 [Can] Pours hazy gold with a finger of off white head. Aroma is citric hops - lots of amarillo, grapefruit, orange, a hint of metal, and almost no evidence of maltiness. Flavor is pretty much the same, with that metallic note lingering into the finish. I wonder how fresh this beer is, the hop flavor seems a bit mellow. Even so, the beer is well balanced and not harshly bitter.
