Can to becher pint glass. Thanks Russ and RIP 4Balance (Ken)
Appearance: clear copper color with a three finger head which dissipated slowly and left some sliding lace
Aroma: grassy, piney, citrusy hops melding with strong caramel malt backbone
Flavor: bittersweet through the hops balanced by the malt backbone, hoppy and malty backbone
Texture: medium bodied, delicate sessionability about it, malty finish with some hops trying to make a play for some balance
Overall: I'd say this was a pretty nicely done AIPA I believe I could have again.

Draught at Wyndham Grand Hotel downtown OKC, 3/27/23. Clear brilliant brass. Small, neat, white head. Pine, heavy marmalade, white bread. Bit of resin, though not skimping on the malt. Clean enough. It is indeed a pretty classic WC. To that end I couldn't finish it, but it's not obnoxiously resinous or anything. Good attempt at balance and solidly malty, but wholly uninterested in drinking a mouth full of old school C hops.

I bought F5 a few weeks ago at the only craft beer store decently nearby, stamp says the 12 oz can was put up on 1/7/20. My Great Heights snifter will receive this one. The body is an opaque orange-yellow with an estimable pure white head, good lacing potential. I smell is an attractive pine and newly mown grass. A drink gives a strong dose of pine bark, grapefruit rind, crackers, all surrounded by a strong bitterness. Good for an everyday IPA, a nice rep of the old school style.

From a 12 oz. can. Pours a hazy copper with a big off white head. Aromas of pine. Flavors are bitter citrus. Classic IPA well done.

Got in a BIF from jdell15. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 7/27/2017. Pours slightly hazy golden/amber color with a 2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearane. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper, pine, light honey, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper, pine, light honey, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus rind, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, sticky/resinous/rindy, and fairly crisp balanced mouthfeel that is awesome. Zero warming alcohol for 7.1%. Overall this is fantastic IPA! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Very vibrant and dank hops; great bready malt backbone with no residual sweetness. Never overly aggressive. Perfectly balanced citrus/tropical Falconers Flight and dank/piney Columbus hop character. A highly enjoyable offering.
