Light amber colour. Light hop aroma. Very spicy character. Light body. Moderate bitterness. Neither citric not very bitter. It’s interesting though but maybe not my thing.

clear dark amber, wispy beige head, bits of lace, sweet caramel malt aroma with citrus and floral hops, well balanced caramel malt and earthy hop flavor, touch of sweetness from the caramel malt is quickly countered with bitterness rising out of the earthy hops, lasting bitter finish,

Pours a transparent copper orange with a small, but nicely-lacing white head. Aroma of slightly grainy pale malt, some lemony citrus hops and a touch of caramel. Starts about average for the style with a mild sweetness and a bigger bittering hop presence and some grapefruit flavor toward a drier, lingering bittersweet finish. A decent IPA, but I’m not sure I like the hop profile.

Can: Pours a nice golden bronze color with a puffy white head and good lacing. The nose is blooming with citrus and pine, ample hops. The malts are a little lighter. Some toastiness in the flavor along with plenty of bitters in the tail. I like the straight to the point west-coast IPA style hoppiness of this one. Easy drinking too for an IPA. I could drink a 6er.

12oz can. Poured a medium amber color with an averagd sized off white head. Aromas of pine, earthy, floral, and citrus. Tastes of pine, citrus, and some caramel. Grapefruit bitter finish. Nice IPA and from a can too!
