Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: semi-bright yellow with a mild transparency about it. Two finger white foamy head fell off to leave some spotty lace
Aroma: floral, citrusy and clean sweet grassy hops all blend together and balance themselves with a clean bready malt
Flavor: bittersweet and clean blending the prior noted aromas; clean aftertaste of the citrusy to piney hops
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, semi-dry along my tongue; dry finish of citrusy and piney hops
Overall: good AIPA worthy of returning to.

16 oz can purchased at the Liquor Barrel in Golden Valley, Minnesota. The pour is a slight haze yellow golden with a nice off white head, leaving behind pretty lace. The aroma is pine floral with a nice lemon citrus. The taste is nice bright bitter floral, citrus with cereal grain and a mineral finish. Old school IPA flavor. The palate is medium bodied with natural carbonation and a bitter finish. Tasty stuff.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has notes of earthy pine with a bit of onion, sweet grains and wood underlying. Flavor is mainly earthy pine with bread, light onion and wood in the finish.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours gold with a large, foamy white head. Aroma of a lot of mixed hops and mildly roasty caramel. Med body. Flavor is mildly roasty caramel (tho not so roasty as an APA - just a bit that way), citrus, floral and pale stone fruit. Reasonably dry. Bitter enough to satisfy. Old school, xpt for the hop complexity (did I mention that?). Good IPA.

Quit interesting take on the style. Medium bitternesss, not overly fruity or floral, low carbonation solid backbone. Semi-dry. It is so balanced it works. Nothing particularly stands out but it’s simplicity is so well done it’s a bit of a master piece.
