Can, smells brightly like candy hops. Slight haze on pale. Doesn't look too thick but first taste is big hoppy IPA punch in the face. Decent co2, just too much hop, over top, happy IPA BS. Yes, a very good ubiquitous IPA that doesn't have the smell of BO. If you like IPA, ignore my numbers and put it on yer bucket list with the other million good IPA out there.

can - Gold pour, citrus hop aroma. The flavor is moderately bitter with citrus notes and bready malt. Medium bodied. It's a mostly average IPA.

12 oz can poured. A much updated, bright pink packaging, which obviously differs from the design on the site. Good IPA for a good price here. Shiny and clean golden pour. Juicy pineapple like hops fill the aroma. Such an easy drinking IPA. Session feel. Lingering pineapple like hop quality. Very nice.

Crisp, ever so slightly hazy golden coloured body with a thinnish pale white head. Aroma of grass, light pine, some citrus and a good deal of bitter floral and honey notes, like manuka. Medium-bodied; Assertive biscuity malt notes at first with a big grass and herbal character and more bitterness noticeable through grapefruit and citrusey hops. Aftertaste is more subdued with a lot of dry and hay-like flavours, but this is pretty minimal, only showing citrus and more bitterness with a residual bite from the alcohol and little else. Overall, a decent enough IPA that is more NorthEastern style than Southern California, but it is just about an average IPA from [what is now] a Mass Produced Brewery. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Fairfax, Virginia on 10-September-2017 for US$2,79 sampled at home in Washington on 13-October-2017, just about a month later.

12oz can pours with a near clear gold body that supports a tall off white head of foam. The aroma offers up lemon, grapefruit, biscuit malts and citrus zest. The taste delivers moderately bitter grapefruit nuanced with tart lemon and orange peel. To midway a sliver of citrus juiciness and citrus hard candy try to be heard over the bitterness. Just OK.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 6/2/2017. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy medium golden/yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, cracker, biscuit, light honey, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, cracker, biscuit, light honey, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, lemon/orange peel, light pepper, pine, cracker, biscuit, light honey, and floral/grassy earthiness for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly crisp balanced mouthfeel that is awesome. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6.4%. Overall this is a delicious IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Really nice bright and lightly dank hops, balancing bready malts, and no residual sweetness. Never aggressive and more of an overall balanced west coast IPA. A very enjoyable offering.

Can at Kroger More and more shelf space fills with these AbInbev brands. Hazy light yellow with a quickly falling whiten head. Light grapefruit aroma. Lightly bitter, some wet cardboard. So so.
