Slightly hazy copper and bronze coloured body with a very large, super soapy off-white head that stays afloat for a really long time and is a bit ugly, but at least it's there. Aroma of strong floral and very perfumey hops with a large pine and grassy kick as well. A dash of pepper complements the scent with some alcohol and a large amount of malt. Medium-bodied; Strong peppery bite with a dash of flowers and grass with a dash of pine and a touch of malts dominate with some light alcohol and a large, but very floral and perfumey hop notes show a ton of flavours. Aftertaste shows the alcohol and malt almost as much as the plentiful hops, but it's balanced pretty nicely and almost shows more of a West Coast IPA than others, but we're pretty smack dab in the middle of the country, so this one is a bit surprising in a good way. Overall, a good IPA that literally popped open (exploded) when moving the can from the six pack holder, just a few minutes after purchase! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased a few minutes ago from Family Fare [grocery store] in Rapid City, South Dakota on 25-June-2020 for US$1,67 sampled in my hotel room here in Rapid City, South Dakota on 25-June-2020 just a few minutes later.

Draft at Taphouse 41. Clear golden color, bright white head. Aroma of summer fruit and citrus. Taste is bitter lemon. Nice.
