Pour is a crystal clear gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma is some peach and melon hops. Flavor is a minor hop with a grainy malt and a bitter pop at the end. It's ok but nothing special. I don't think the beer I'm having is the same one listed here. The name is the same but my can says IPA at 7.2% abv. I don't really feel like adding or change it.

16oz can from the ATG crew. Slightly hazy more than crystal clear. Orange-tan. Foamy white head. A pretty awesome IPL. Not overboard with the hops, more of a nice modern tinged hop balance..even though the Ella hops are not super distinguishable to me. Really well made and also stood the test of time. Solid offering.

Pours from the can a cloudy yellow-gold color with a medium white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing. Aroma of citrus, piney hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of tropical fruit, citrusy hops, pine and bready malt. The finish is fruity with a hops and pine aftertaste. Above average overall.

Not all that hoppy. Great body, appearance, balance, and finish though. Easy drinking beer.

16 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 2/3/2017. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, lemon zest, orange peel, pear, melon, apple, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, lemon zest, orange peel, pear, melon, apple, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, lemon/orange zest, pear, melon, apple, pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Very clean on lager flavors, with zero yeast notes present. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/sticky, and slightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6%. Overall this is a very nice IPL. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and pretty refreshing to drink with the balanced bitter/drying finish. Great hop vibrancy and unique complexity. A very enjoyable offering.
