Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: copper color with a light transparency closer to the sides and a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some subtle lace
Aroma: subtle mango to piney and slightly danky hop notes then some cracker-like malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a slight bitter to bittersweet taste; finishes mango-ish to piney with a slight malty note
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, some smoothness, some bitterness assertiveness
Overall: nice enough APA with Idaho-7 hops. I think I could come back to.

12 ounce can. Honey gold pour. Large rocky white head. Pine and citrus rind nose. First sip is pale malt with notes of dank pine and grapefruit. Hints of lime and kiwi fruit. Dry hoppy finish is resinous and long lasting.

Canned 9/25, drunk 11/30/18.
Pours a brass-copper-golden with a hint of haze and an off-white head that fades steadily to a ring.
Nose is clean and lightly juicy with less tea-like character than I usually get from this hop and more mango and melon in its place. At two months old, I don't expect much, but the malt is full of clean honey and light biscuit with no resin and only a hint of pine mixing with tangerine and lemon on the end.
In the mouth it's quite bitter, not too much so, but does show marmalade, pepper and grass with light nectarine, pineapple and mango flavors, not so much juice or anything. Soft, supple malt is much more round and comforting (and balancing) than I remember SS 2 or 8 being. Clean, balanced, and refreshing. Kind of unsurprising given how much better Idaho 7 is than Amarillo and Mosaic, in my opinion.

Draft taster pour at NH Brewfest. Appearance is clear golden yellow with mild sparkle, thin ring of off-white head. Aroma is strong tropical fruit. Taste is intensely floral, some fruit with lightly bitter balance, and mild herbal/weed. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, light texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, amazingly strong flavor for a session and is a bit different from aroma.

Draft at Snallygaster DC 2018. Poured a clear golden yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was nice and subtle fruit notes. Touch of pine, touch of orange peel. Pleasant.
