Update 2025: Had this again by mistake, this year it has a slight tart attitude about it. Has less IPA bitterness and a little more co2. Makes it much more acceptable to my palate. It really doesn't even come across like an IPA, probably an APA would be ore like it. Old rating was 3.3 - old rate: $2 orange can as pictured. First thought? Who wants that terribly bitter feel without big ABV? Taste is big bitter rubber veggie cabbage. Some decent co2 if you search for it. Yea, there you have; another rude ass on style bitter IPA, must be a gahzillion out there and they all taste the same; nasty. Continuing session, radel radly runs right over the roughnecks. Terribly on style for a light IPA, almost APA.

Can. Grapefruit juice, biscuit malt, and grapefruit peel aroma. Cloudy golden yellow with large white head. Moderately sweet grapefruit juice, light biscuit malt, and moderately bitter grapefruit peel flavor. Good body. Nice grapefruit presence.

12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 6/12/2017. Pours fairly hazy pale golden/yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/pine hops, grapefruit juice, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus rind, grassy, spicy bitterness; and slight tart/tangy grapefruit on the finish. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/pine hops, grapefruit juice, and moderate pale malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/sticky, and slightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is awesome. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.7%. Overall this is an excellent fruited session IPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/pine hops, grapefruit juice, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth crisp, and highly refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Very dank/vibrant hop flavors, with great grapefruit juice balance; and a nice malt backbone for the low ABV. Just the right amount of bitterness for the style. A really enjoyable offering.

Sample at the tap room. The beer pours a slightly hazy yellow-orange color with a medium thin white head that evaporates steadily to a film. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of grapefruit, grassy hops and malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a citrusy hops aftertaste. Above average overall.
