Pours copper and smells of stone fruits and resinous hops. The flavor is aggressively bitter, resinous, and fruity. Medium body. Very tasty.

Very clear copper and lightly bronzed coloured body with a nice three centimetre tall pure white head that stays afloat for a while and fades without leaving anything on the sides. Aroma of very bright and strong grassy, citrusey and super floral, resinous hops with a ton of alpha acids and bitterness noticeable with a dry bite and some light alcohol with a good deal of nutty and caramelised malts. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and floral hops dominate with a ton of bitterness and resinous, perfumey notes with some resin and pine also, but the balance of malt and hops is nice, despite the pungency and abundance (in a good way) of the hops and bitterness. Aftertaste shows some bright grassy and perfumey hops with a lot of dry, bitter and floral hops, a ton of bitterness, some very subdued citrusey notes and an enjoyable balance - but no sweetness or depth - this is all about the hops, in a very nice and pungent way. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-size can, purchased from Heinen's in [downtown] Cleveland, Ohio on 30-July-2021 for US$2,89 sampled in my hotel room here in Belleville, Michigan on 01-August-2021.

Pours from crowler a slightly hazed bronze-gold color with a medium off-white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Sticky strings of lace. Aroma of piney hops, citrus and malt. Medium body with flavors of resiny hops. grapefruit and caramel malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a piney hop aftertaste. Good beer all around.

Draft pour pint at Hop and Hound. A bright, slightly cloudy golden orange pour with a thin, oily head. Quite a hop bite to this, as expected. Pleasant, and not too harsh. Citrus like hop heavy aroma. A more sharp taste to this one. A citrus constant bitterness to this, and it works well. A kickass IPA here. An original style of IPA that’s done extremely really well. Loved it.

On tap @ JR’s. What else can be said? I’m not a fan of IPA but FH is known for their terribly on style mouth coating palate wrecking IPA (and this borders on double IPA), so, if you like this style ignore my humanistic not by style ratings.
