TeamTrappist (363), jericho, New York, USA Jul 4, 2008 Tap at Dive Bar. Poured a copper brown, with a thin head. This had a sweet hop nose. Med-thin mouthful that was very drinkable.A nice crisp beer with some decent hop flavor, not overpowering, but by no means lacking. Similar to the mother of most pale ales, sierra nevada, but with more flavor, and robustness. hayduke (1619), Eureka, California, USA Jul 3, 2008 The was the other can and again what a surprise. I am so used to beer in a can being awful I almost passed this up. But this poured a golden color with rich fat head and good lacing. Nose of caramel malts and citrus hops, Smooth and clean mouthfeel. Flavor is slightly bitter and the finish is long and dry. Good stuff. JonR888710 (999), Cochabamba, Bolivia Jul 3, 2008 Pours darker than I imagined, golden orange color. Little to no white head, even with cajoling. Aroma is caster sugar and faint peach, apricot. Taste is bitter, but not insanely so. Has an oily feel that softens the hop shock. Aftertaste has some harshness in the gums and cheeks. not blown away by this one, needs more malt. Singular in taste and nowhere near one of my favorite IPA’s. The flavor profiles is too flat. Purchased this 12 oz can at Whole Foods in Falls Church, VA. papajohn (1054), San Diego (Mira Mesa), California, USA Jul 2, 2008 Updated: Jul 13, 200812 oz can from Pizza Port bottle shop Carlsbad: Rich golden color with a small, fading off-white head. Aroma is sweet and hoppy with a hint of pine. Flavor starts caramel candy sweet followed by citrus and a fairly dry orange rind finish. Meium body is smooth with lively carbonation. SudsMcDuff (1691), was CapeTown,SA-now Houston, Texas, USA Jun 30, 2008 The new can revolution is here ... has a wonderful sweet piney aroma .. glides down the throat very happily ... i love this beer.. Taste is very tasty and has a great clean finish, lick your lips and have another!! nathan30533 (138), Dahlonega, Georgia, USA Jun 27, 2008 A good pale ale, especially from a can. I am a bottle drinker myself but if you put this one in a glass its a great tasting, smooth pale ale with good flavor. maniac4016 (114), bill clinton, Iceland Jun 25, 2008 citric hops on nose & palate, at mid palate it starts to break down a bit but rebounds with a nice clean & dry finish. by far the best bitter beer i had in a can. if you do a 1/2 & 1/2 with old chub you have the dales chubby old something Mutualaid (136), Texas, USA Jun 23, 2008 Pours amber with a thin, white head. Faint malt aromas quickly usurped by the hop bouquet. The hops are fragrant, but frankly I was expecting a bit more. The taste definitely does not disappoint; smooth malty sweetness perfectly balanced by the bittering hops. Hop flavor is evident as well. Medium body with a very smooth mouthfeel. Finishes clean.
