12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/18/2019. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lasts. dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, toasted biscuit, light honey/nutty, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, toasted biscuit, light honey/nutty, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, toasted biscuit, light honey/nutty, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6%. Overall this is an awesome fresh hop American pale ale. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the moderately bitter/resinous/drying finish. Not overly aggressive. Fantastic Citra/Amarillo showcase. Extremely vibrant, dank, earthy, and fairly juicy hops; with a great clean pale malt backbone. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp resin dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and outstanding spot on style example. Loved the hop profile as expected.

Can from OtherMike
Golden colour, chill haze Some grainy notes from the malt, and mild grassy notes from the hops, but also some quality hop resins there.
Very good.

12oz (thx, Other Mike!) @ home. Appearance: slightly hazy deep golden with a white head. Aroma: nice hoppy aroma with with some caramel notes. Taste: along the same lines with moderate piney bitterness and caramel notes. Overall: good old-school IPA.
