$2 can at vintage in boardman. Smell is somewhat Pours with a big foamy creamy craggy head. Nose is somewhat plastic and artificial hops. This stuff looks kindah cloudy almost muddy but not. Taste is big blast IPA hops, quite rude and terribly on style. Yes, big rude IPA flavors with lots of big dull mouth coating nastiness. So bad, so rude, so IPA. Now my ratebeerian friends, I don't like IPA so ignore my number if you do, this is so on style, its really IPA all the way, and I'm making a rhyme, so gimmie a dime.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours slihgtly hazy/cloudy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big grapefruit, mandarin orange, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, toasted biscuit, light honey/caramel/nutty, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, mandarin orange, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, toasted biscuit, light honey/caramel/nutty, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, mandarin orange, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, toasted biscuit, light honey/caramel/nutty, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 6%. Overall this is an excellent IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Great Chinook hop showcase as expected, but also includes Eureka for added tropical/stone fruit notes. Very juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; nice sized bready malt backbone, with mild lingering sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, well made Midwest style IPA.

Slightly hazy amber-orange color with a medium thick off-white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of dank hops, fruit and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of herbal hops, citrus and roast malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a hazy orange-amber color with a large foamy off white head that left excellent lacing. The aroma was sweet, tangy and fruity with a bit or orange. The flavor was vitter and dryish with fruity hops, orange and a touch of pine. Long finish. Medium body. Ok.
