16 oz can from Boise Co-op. Medium golden with small fluffy head. Aroma is dull, malts, paper. Taste turns things around with some sharp bitterness. Minor malts. One sided IPA, really bitter.

16 ounce can. Pours a clear orange color with a small white head. A light grainy nose. Sweet, bready, light citrus and perfume. Smooth. Mild bitter bite. Flavorful, light. Enjoyable. Would love to see this on cask.

I admit, the smell was somehow off-putting at first, perhaps too much pine or tropical fruit from the hops. Perhaps some funk in the can's headspace after a hot ride from UPS. But that cleared off to leave a nice hoppy nose, mostly of guava and mango. The taste has a similar tropical fruit hop to it, with the resin more to the background. Malts have a very light toast, but are present in enough quantity to match up with the hops. This ends up as a decent pale ale, more of an APA than a British IPA. And as a celebrity endorsed beer, it certainly stands up better than, say, a Landshark Lager or something called “Badass.” I wish I could make a snarky remark about ”Billy” beer, but I was just slightly too young to take that bullet.

Bottle/Fest. A- Malty, citrus, pine. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Caramel, malty, bland. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, bland finish. O- Thought this was a tribute to the band but perhaps not. More hop presence on the nose than tongue which seemed odd. Pretty watery. Not good.

Draft at Rock & Brews. Pours slightly hazy burnt orange color with off white head. Aromas of malt, citrus, and pine. Similar flavors but more malty than I prefer. Medium body with average carbonation.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 6/1/2018. Pours slightly hazy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 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. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, honey, bread dough, toasted biscuit, light caramel/nuttiness, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity hops and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, honey, bread dough, toasted biscuit, light caramel/nuttiness, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, zesty, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, honey, bread dough, toasted biscuit, light caramel/nuttiness, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops and bready malt flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance; and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 6%. Overall this is a delicious American pale ale! All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish, great soft feel. Definitely a lot of Cascade/Amarillo hop notes going on. Awesome balance of juicy hops and bready English malts, with mild lingering sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
