Can as pictured. Smells like a dull IPA. Looks like a pale clear dull IPA. Yes, almost an IPA in taste. Actually could be considered a milder IPA, I've had IPA that were less bitchy than this. Quite bitter hops in the middle, lasting bitter taste. You know, these APA and IPA intersect all over the place. Let's make an Ipa and call it a APA or pale ale or a wheat ale or whatever. Hey, ratebeerian IPA lovers, there are more styles out there than IPA, go figger. Its got to be more than 44 IBU. JMHO. Think: Chewing on bitter rotten green grapefruit rinds mixed with pine tar all poured over old rubber inner tubes that were sent thru the food processor. Whew. .The end; what else can be said? Except maybe it finishes with the mouth coating attribute of an IPA.

Can from weihenweizen: pours copper with a light beige head. Aroma is light citrus, floral, pine. Taste is moderately bitter, somewhat sweet, flowery. Not bad.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing! Looks good. Fine hoppy-fruity aroma. Starts mild malty, more and more bitter-dry, some fruity notes of lemon, some grapes. Finish a bit moldy-malty. Okay.

12oz can thanks to weihenweizen pours out a dirty golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice leafy earth hops some light grain. Taste is more of the nice light malts and mellow hops.

Many thanks to weihenweizen for bringing this can to Europe. Fresh dry floral beginning. The sticky hops are in the back, fruity floral, refreshing with hints of water. Nice though.

Can shared with Erzengel. A clear golden beer with a off-white head. Aroma of fresh grassy hops, citrus fruits, pale malt. Taste of citrus hops, grassy hops, pale malt, a bit watery.

Leans heavily towards a grainy, wet malt flavor over any strong hop presence. Notes of berry and pine with a slight citrus twist, all underneath a raw wort-ish flavor and a lingering bitter finish. Nose is mostly caramel malt with a mildewy undertone. Good pour, slightly hazed gold with a frothy head and modest lace. Texture's fine, oily and smooth. Eh.
