Fucken can offered @ gmellison. Got this bad boy in a trade with Adumb. Thanks! Really fucken murky, dark orange appearance with a white head. Orange blossom, citrus, fruit cocktail, powdery / potpourri aroma. Flavor is ok. Pretty chalky / mineralic but once you get past that it has a decent citrus / floral thing going one. Mouth feel is again a bit powdery. Moderate to high bitterness. Not awful and actually better than I was expecting based on the appearance and aroma, but not something I’d buy again.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks zvikar. Amber with a white head. Pleasant hops aroma with citrus, a bit of tropical fruits and floral notes. Flavor has a bit of sweetish maltiness and a finish with nice bitter citric hops. Light to medium-bodied. Simple, but nice and easy-drinking.

From a can, looks like IPA, smells like pine IPA and tastes like mild IPA. Chunks floating around in my glass. On the finish, not as strong as a real IPA. Nice looking foamy thick head.

From Notes. 12oz can from Old Chicago poured into a shaker. Appearance is a cloudy rust orange with a bright white head. Aroma is strongly of floral hops. Taste is medium bitter. Light bodied with a thin texture, it has a long bitter finish. Overall, this beer is quite good. Something I will definitely try to but and drink again.

Pour is a orange with a large white head. Aroma is a nice, lush citrus hop. Flavor does not live up to the aroma. Hops are there but way weak. There is a more matly backbone in the flavor that does give the beer a nice earhtyness. This was ok and worthy of a pick up.

12oz can, Hazy orange-tan with a steady, foamy, off-white head. Cool, astringent hop aroma, quite aromatic and nice. Quite hop-forward, wouldn’t be out of place at a West Coast brewpub. Well balanced still, with a nice toasty malt backbone. Clean, bold, and true to style. Well done.

12 oz. can, $9 per 6 @ Binny’s. Yet another local brewpub on store shelves. This one canned yet. This one pours dark orange, and pretty cloudy. Bubbly pale ale head. Smell has some nice hop florals to it, citrus and light pine on the back end. Taste is more malty, even a bit sticky. Hops are settled in for balance, unlike most small brewers’ pale ale. That would make this beer suffer in comparison to other hop bombs, but its a nice beer either way. Malts a little thick to qualify as a lawnmower beer, which is where my mind is this extended weekend. But it would be a good dinner beer.
