Feb 25, 2008 Canned, thanks Bolagshataren! Cloudy amber, small head. Aroma of lychee and gooseberry. Sweet and perfumy, solid but very sweet. Very bitter finish with notes of pine needles and shampoo. Impressive, but too sweet.

Feb 27, 2008 Canned (thanks bolagshataren!). Hazy orange colour, not much head. Aroma is fruity and flowery hops in a nice balance. Also some slight hints of caramel malts. Flavour is pleasantly balanced fruity and flowery hops along with caramel malts, toffee and some nectary hints. Pleasant.

Jun 5, 2008 Objectively speaking:
Another fine American IPA straight out of a can.
I like:
Perfumey, strongly exotic hop nose. Crisp body. Focused oranges layout. Bready, caramelly, comfortable maltiness procures lots of sweetness, but the bitterness level is appropriate to balance it out.
I dislike:
More crystal than pale malt character. Not terribly complex.

Jan 25, 2008 Pours a transparent copper orange with a spotty-lacing froth of off-white head. Aroma of fresh citrusy resiny hops with pale malty undertones. Body starts lightly malty sweet and has good resiny piny hoppy balance. Finishes drier, bittersweet and crisp. A pretty nice and drinkable IPA.
