12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 1/10/2017. Pours fairly crystal clear medium orange/amber/light copper color with a 1-2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, apricot, pineapple, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, caramel, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/pine hops and moderate dark/bready malt sweetness; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, apricot, pineapple, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, caramel, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/citrus peel/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, peach, apricot, pineapple, lemon/orange peel, pine, caramel, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/pine hops and moderate dark/bready malt sweetness; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/sticky, and lightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is a great IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/pine hops and moderate dark/bready malt sweetness; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellow bitterness. Really well balanced and classic tasting IPA all around. Extremely juicy, fruity, and bright on hops; good size malt backbone, but never too heavy/sweet feeling. A very enjoyable offering.

Can. Pours a clear earthy gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has stale sweet grains with some earthy grass and a hint of pine underlying. Flavor has earthy sweet grains with some bread and a bit of grass and pine backing.
