(Can) Pours slightly hazy amber mid brown with excellent dense tan head. Nice aroma, mainly pine with some floral and candy hints. Medium body with smooth creamy carbonation. Good taste, although rather confused. Hops apparent throughout. There’s earthy flavours, and berry notes. Pleasant, drinkable, but taste seemed confused.

16 oz can poured. Thanks to Keven for sharing. A little past the best by, but still good. I love a beer with a story behind it. I hope proceeds go to help . Dark copper pour with a foaming head. Hop heavy aroma, and a nice toasty malt, and piney flavor throughout. Cool finish. Quite tasty.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours ruddy amber with a beige head. Aroma is pretty piney! Med + body. Flavor is hop forward - quite pine, a little earthy. The roasty malt backbone is detectable. But this is hoppy stuff. Finishes both malty and bitter. Strongly bitter. Good drink.

Can - pours clear blood orange, large puffy beige head, dissipates slowly, nice lacing. Aroma is pine, citrus, forest floor, caramel. Light sweet and light bitter, less maltiness than expected from the color. Kind of boring, actually. Fairly light body.

From a 500 ml can. Hazy red color. Rocky off white head. Aroma’s: rasinous, some caramel, some citrus (more citrus after a while). Retronasal there’s caramel sweetness and citrus fruit, some hop bitterness. Flavor is moderate sweet and moderate bitter, dark malts, caramel. Medium bodied. Finishes with a moderate bitterness. Decent, but certainly not mind blowing.

Tasting at Bruce’s. Thanks to Bruce for this can. Lightly hazy amber beer, small pale cream coloured head. Smooth palate with light fine minerally carbonation. Smooth malt base, little cream. Nice hope - fresh tasting pine with a little fresh orange. Little citric peel bitterness. Finishes smooth and semi dry. Nice smooth light IPA.

Medium sweet flavor with mellow bread, slight honeysuckle, toasted sugars, mango, pine, orange. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Mild bitterness to finish, some sticky pine, lightly toasted bread, melon, mango. Very nice.
