Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark yellow to gold color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy hoppy tones with some grapefruit rind bitterness and some light clean malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a bitter to semi-bittersweet sort of quality; finishes semi-dry with light citrusy rind bitterness
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; light smoothness and light hop bitterness assertiveness but nothing overbearing
Overall: not bad, I think I could revisit this one.

Quite hazy deep copper and bronze coloured body with a very thin tan head that fades fast. Aroma of flowers, honey, grass, resin, pineapple and a dose of grain. Medium-bodied; Super strong astringent and resinous flavour with a lot of grain, nuts, hay and a lot of grassy notes that show some sweetness from apples and grapes at the end. Aftertaste shows the astringent and pungent medicinal notes with a very soft, but sweet flavour from fruit and caster sugar, but also a dose of dry, earthy malts with a lot more deep and resinous hops that show a lot of bitterness at the end and also some alcohol punch and a deep herbal finish. Overall, a decent IPA that almost looks like a New England IPA, tastes like an APA and ends like a dry saison or a biere de garde. Neat and good to try, but definitely not an amazing IPA. I sampled this sixteen ounce can, purchased from Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville, New Jersey on 22-June-2019 for US$2,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 09-July-2019, just a few days later.

Draught. Hazy pale yellow with small foamy white head, very faint citrus peel aroma, medium carbonation, initially sweet taste turning lightly bitter, reminiscent of Meyer lemons, thin body, medium lemon finish. Quite nice and tasty.

Can from Buy Rite Jersey City. Hazy orange, coating, spotty lacework. Juicy hop, some pine, resin, citrus, and earth. Bit of grass as well. Boozy mouthfeel. Bitter, hoppy, and dry. Lacks balance, but still a solid beer. Would definitely drink this again.
