Aug 25, 2007 Updated: Sep 26, 2007Can. Did I really just pour a can of beer and have it taste this good? Wow, the world has changed in the past 2 and a half years of not having any beer. Anyway, it poured a slighty hazy copper color with a nice hoppy aroma. The flavor and palate were what really threw me for the fact that it comes from a can. Hops and malt and nice rounded mouth feel. I like it.

Jan 26, 2008 Poured into a nonic. Very dark for an IPA, I’m expecting it to be malty. Head is tan and an inch tall. Lots of sticky lacing.
Aroma is a blast of resiny, oily hops. Mainly pine, but some floralness too. I get a little sweet breadiness in the background as well.
A blend of sweet caramel malt and pine-filled hops washes over the tongue, leaving behind a pointed hop bitterness that isn’t at all unpleasant. Less malty than the color would indicate, but still a nice balance here.
Medium body, sticky and resiny from the hops, but the bitter finish is enticing.

May 31, 2008 Updated: Sep 12, 2008Pours a nice hazy amber-copper with a thick off white head.
Aroma is floral hop initially then pine, all backed by a toasty malt.
Flavour carries the pine hop through a medium caramel malt body. Finishes dryish bitter.
Very tasty.

Dec 22, 2007 growler from the brewery. Pours deep amber with a thin white head. Has a crazy hop and grapefruit presence in the nose. Flavor is just bursting with hoppy goodness, grapefruity bitter citrus, and pine. Finishes bitter and delicious. A very good IPA.

Mar 1, 2008 Can from Tyler! Big Head! Frosty white, three fingers worth. Beautiful dark red/amber color. Good lacing. Smell of citrus hops! Also the smell of malt. Taste is nice bitterness right off the bat. Yet it has a hidden sweetness and a smooth after taste. Taste is all HOPS. Tyler said it was the best beer/IPA out of a can and he was right. Really good IPA!!! Thanks TY for a great beer!

Dec 15, 2008 Special thanks to Beerlando for giving me this can. Wow, this is really a fantastic IPA. Pours a dark amber with an intense pine, vanilla and grapefruit nose. The white head sticks to the glass all the way down. The flavor remains true to the style and it has a substantial mouthfeel. Bitter grapefruit flavor with an incredible smoothness and drinkability. This is almost up there with Pliny the Elder for being one of my favorite IPAs. This is delicious.

Dec 2, 2006 16 oz can. Surly certainly has figured out the can gimmick, and they have taken it a step further by putting their beers in Tall Boys! This is another great example of a fresh, well balanced IPA. Certainly an up and coming Brewery.

May 10, 2008 Updated: May 24, 2009Wow. Good beer in a can. That’s a first. Pours a hazy copper with minimal head. Flavor has notes of banana, as well as grassy hops. Somewhat spicy and piney - but not overly so. A good IPA - still strange to think this came in a can though. FRESH: This stuff is even more amazing! Bumping this up a notch, as it has some nice dank notes in it.
