16oz can at the state store
After letting it sit for a few seconds. It is clear golden with a medium sized creamy white head, lots of lacing. Aroma is grassy and pine resin. Taste is citrus, resiny, herbal with a bitter finish, dry
An old school IPA, bitter and resin.

At a tasting, thanks, stable long lasting creamy head, clear quite deep orange color, aroma of hay and herbs, flavor of candy with jammy hints anda herbal bitterness, very little carbonation, feels quite heavy. feels a bit old though its probably not. Fair but not too interesting.

Pours hazy dark golden color with white head. Aromas of caramel, pine, and earthy hops. Similar flavors. Medium body with minimal carbonation. Meh.

OK, from a can how can the look of a great rolling pale beer be overlooked? You know, like a nitro black beer but it’s pale and clear? Especially if it has a rocky nitro cask head? No aroma due to the insulating head. Otherwise, this is just an IPA with absolutely no co2 on the palate to save it. A freaking big buzzy beer with no carbonation. Go head, add this to the style that overcame ubiquity from the simple pale mah fah lager, go figger. Yes, IPA is the big ubiquitous so many out there beer, more so than pale lager. Pale lager is the new craft, freaking eh. Straight away. This nitro IPA has an even worse palate than a standard IPA but they won’t let me give it a zero, you barmey? One nice thing is it doesn’t leave me with a gag reflex, heheh-heheheh. BTW, the lacing on this is so sexy.

Draft at Buffalo Wild Wings. Murky orange with a thick, creamy head. Fairly subtle aroma hides under that thick, creamy head. Some citrus notes, a bit of floral and pine as well. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter. Very creamy. Decent. Interesting to give an IPA the nitro treatment, bit for this particular IPA I think the flavors are a little too subtle to hold up.

The nitro is evident in the palate and the appearance. Decent ipa otherwise, dry and bitter, grassy hops, dry, herbal character. High abv is hidden. Good.

15 ounce can into imperial pint glass, best before 5/2016. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy golden orange color with a 2 finger dense and creamy off white head that lasts the entire glass. Thick lacing clings down the glass as you drink. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, mango, passion fruit, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, light caramel, bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity of juicy citrus/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, mango, passion fruit, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, light caramel, bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Good amount of pine/citrus rind/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, mango, passion fruit, lemon/orange rind, pepper, pine, bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Nice complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance; with some light building hop astringency after the finish; but it is not unpleasant. Moderate dryness from bitterness that increases through the glass. Light carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, sticky/resinous, and fairly bready/creamy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a nice nitro IPA. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink, even with the aggressive bitterness. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Pours clear gold into a Sam glass. Beautiful white nitro head. Sour citrus and mint aromas. Soft and creamy, but with nasty caramel and nuts upfront turning to bitter pith and sourdough in the lasting finish.

Tallboy can with widget courtesy of Katie at an event for House staffers. Clear deep golden amber color, big fluffy white head. Floral aroma. Taste is balanced, creamy mouthfeel. Nice.

16 oz. can from a four pack. Clear orange in color after the Nitro subsides. Aroma is grapefruity, with traces of earthy pine and stale malts.
The flavor is a balance of stale malts with a abrasive pine and floral bitterness. I am surprised at the amount of bold bitterness. The mouthfeel is nice of course but the different hop varieties don’t really mesh well together. Harsh abrasive hops with stale malts; not really a winning combination here.
