Can, from City Hops. Pours juicy dark orange with creamy large beige head, faint citrus aroma, bitter grapefruits taste with flat tinny mouthfeel, smooth body, medium finish. A nitro brew doesn't work too well in a can probably.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/12/2018. Pours very hazy golden orange/amber color with a 1 finger dense and creamy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with some light streaming carbonation. Aromas of mandarin orange, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, strawberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, wheat, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big mandarin orange, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, strawberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, wheat, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mandarin orange, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, strawberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, wheat, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Light carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky/grainy, and fairly sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol for 6%. Overall this is a very nice nitro American pale ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink withe modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Nice Citra, Mandarina Bavaria, Huell Melon profile. Very juicy, and fairly dank/earthy hop complexity; nice wheat/oat/malt backbone, minimal residual sweetness from lingering dryness. Would have probably been better without the nitro; but was still a very enjoyable offering, and well made style example otherwise.
