Can, huge thank Tony for bringing this! Slightly hazy amber body, off white head. Lean caramelly aroma, some lemon and herbal touches, a bit earthy. Same in the taste, lean, caramelly, lemon, bit earthy. A relic of another time, this was really interesting to try.

Super deep and bronze coloured body with a rich brown tint and a thinnish, single to two centimetre tall off-white head that fades a bit slowly. Aroma of toffee, caramelised sugars, raisins, malt, peat, grain and a dash of flowers. Medium-bodied; Strong rich malt and grain flavours dominate with a bit of nuttiness and earthy character with some grain, flowers, hay and a dash of pepper. Aftertaste shows some grain, earthy notes, a heavy bit of caramelised sugars and some nuts with a dry, but floral hop bite that shows some light pine, but mostly floral and grassy notes that come out. Overall, a nice and floral hoppy character that shows slightly strong, but the nuttiness, earthy and especially grainy quality dominates with some bitterness and punch, especially from the malts, without much alcohol noticeable at all. Good to sample and not a bad option, but not very close to most IPAs that you'd want to have. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Super One Foods in Kalispell,  Montana on 26-July-2020 for US$1,76 sampled in my hotel room here in West Yellowstone, Montana on 30-July-2020.

12oz can pours out crisp clean copper gold topped with a sand head. Nose is sweet malts pine citrus hops. Taste is more of the nice sweet malts pine citrus hop combo and a touch of pithy grapefruit on the end.

Can from Rosauers Bozeman. Dark golden, creamy head. Aroma is grainy, malty, fruity. Hops come forward in the taste, earthy, mildly bitter, matching up with the malts quite well.

Draught. Pours a hazy orange-amber with a medium, off-white head that laces. Fruity aroma with citrus and pine. Sweet flavour of citrus, caramel malt and light pine with a dry, bitter, hoppy finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. A pleasant surprise.

On tap at the Mountain Brewers’ Fest 2013. Pours a clear copper color with a medium white head. A nice rich nose of floral hops and some deep citrus. The flavor is a well made Centennial brew with big citrus, light pine, some earthy malt balance. Light bitter finish. Very nice.
