33cl can big thaks to Reakt for this one, cheers Ang. Lovely Centennial aroma. Some toffee and a lot of sweet crystal malt. The problem is that there is not enough malt balance and character to carry the hop aroma and though there is bitter ness on the end, it’s a harsh bitterness rather than a more rounded finish. Still for an IPA in a can its pretty good. Some toastiness throughout.

Canned beer that I picked up from Bellingers Jet Garage, Grove, nr Wantage, Oxon 16-09-09 consumed the same day This pours for all the world looking like a classic UK bitter with just the right sized white head sitting atop as well. Wonderful hoppy aroma with pine and grapefruit lingering for a long while on the nose and a floral edge to it also. This has a nice initial hoppy sting that is tempered by a very pleasant honey sweetness, really tasty and most enjoyable. A7 A5 F7 P4 Ov 15 3.8

12 oz can purchased as a single at Oliver or Twist in Platte City, Missouri. Pour is mostly clear copper golden with a two inch off white head. Head is lasting, when it falls it leaves behind nice lacing. Aroma of fresh citrus (orange and pineapple) and resin hops with a nice caramel malt backbone. Nicely balanced nose. Taste is more resin than citrus, but is certainly the hops out of the gate. The resin is earthy and woody. The caramel malt is big as well. Balance is nice, as with the nose. Palate is medium, pretty heavy IPA mouthfeel. Carbonation is low, and the finish is minerally, almost dirty. Nice enough IPA.

Can. Dark bronze beer with a strong off white/brownish head. The aroma is lightly hopped, and the flavour is deeply hopped and roasted. Overall a good solid well hopped IPA.

Can from Bellingers, Oxfordshire. An amber pour with decent white head. Hoppy, fruity aroma. Grapefruit, hoppy taste, slightly bitter. Refreshing. Hard to believe this is an IPA from a can. Very nice.

Can. Pours with a creamy bone colored head over a just slightly hazed harvest orange body. Aroma is nice and hoppy, pine, and grassy/spicy. Taste is herbal, grainy (nearly astringent), and grassy. Decently bitter. Not as nice of a hop profile or presence as the aroma. Lightly soapy. Light bubbles, water like viscosity. Decent.

Pour is an orange with a small almost flat head. Aroma is is hoppy with more of a sweet malt taking over the hops profile. Flavor is where the hops kick in. Hops dominate most everything from the first sip to the swallow but finishes quite dry. A decent offering but quite expensive at $11.99 a six. Probably paying for the novelty of the can.

Can. Body is a clear orange with a nice head and gives off aromas of pine, sweet malt and honey-like sweetness. flavor is similar and has a sharp crispness to it that is pleasant. Just a hint of metal interferes with the palate a bit, but never becomes too problematic. Good stuff in a can.
