Big can while visiting st pete. Hazy yellow orangish brew. Smells like sweet pine, or should I say sweaty pine? Taste is big dull bad ass pine tar. Really sticks to the roof of your mouth. Big dull bastard dwarf of a rude straight up ass beer. Totally on style. Could even pass as an imperial IPA. Just saying. Yea, one big, large and in charge nasty IPA fer sher. Like IPA? Forget my numbers and put this on your bucket list. Think mouth coating pine tar sap blended with rotting fermenting green grapefruit rinds and spruce tar all while chewing on a fresh rubber inner tube.

Amber color, good foaming head, off to a good start. Bright hop forward nose, some general citrus elements, resiny. Flavor is more balanced, with a caramel and bready malt element equal to the mostly resiny hop flavors. Medium bitterness and semi-dry to balanced at the finish. solidfunk said it was a nice old school IPA and I'd have to agree on both counts, its nice, and old school, reminds me a great deal of the early 2000s IPAs, esp the east coast ones. Take home message here is that this does nothing to distinguish itself particularly, outside of being a solid all around hoppy beer, and there's nothing wrong with that. As they say, it dranks purty good.

Nice grapefruit. Pours golden with good head and lacing. Some caramel, bitter end. Nice old school IPA. A little too much sweetness at the end like you’ve just been lied to.
