This citrusy IPA is made with 4 "c" hops: chinook, centennial, cascade, citra.

The largest natural giant ever recorded was a man named Black Angus from Cape Breton. He would dead lift anchors to pass the time. If you’re a giant struggling to open this seemingly tiny bottle:
1. Hold it between the thumb and index finger of your left hand, being careful not to crush it.
2. Gently flick the cap off with the index finger of your right hand.
3. Enjoy the mouthful of ale, a delicious citrusy mix of Chinook, Centennial, Cascade and Citra hops.
4. Repeat as desired

473mL can. Pours clear gold with small white head. Faint hops and a bit of weird yeast on the nose. Flavour has dried grass, old pine, a bit woody. Hop expression is a bit tired. Not particularly good.

Poured from the tap @ Governors. Chill hazed dull gold with small white head. Biscuit malt and light citrus hops, quite malty, more old school. Okay.

Pours lightly hazy orange and smells of citrusy and piney hops. The flavor is similar with moderate to strong bitterness, a medium body, and a good hoppy finish.

Tap @ the brewery. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are bitter hops, fruits, flowers and malt. Nice bitter finish.
