Fairly clear golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish, single to perhaps two centimetre tall just off-white head. Great aroma of pungent bitter and piney hops with a good grapefruit and citrus punch, but the alpha acids are evident and show very nicely - akin to an old school West Coast IPA with a good malt backbone and some alcohol noticeable. Medium-bodied; Nicely layered malt and hop flavour set with a good pungent malt and alcohol taste at first that gives way to a touch of sweetness and character from fruits, but then hits hard with a lot of highly bittered hops that show citrus, pine, flowers and a lot of resin. Aftertaste shows a lot of grass and resin notes with a fairly noticeable alcohol punch at the end, with some lighter sweetness, more noticeable malt backbone and a good deal of fruits noticeable as well. Overall, a very nice older school IPA that shows a ton of bitterness, a good malt backbone and some light alcohol to match - very refreshing and full of flavour - just what was needed after a hot day at Devil's Tower! I sampled this sixteen ounce pint on draught at Longhorn Restaurant in Sundance, Wyoming on 26-June-2020 for US$5,00.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Bit of a gusher can. Pours very hazy/cloudy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, honey, toast, biscuit dough, light caramel/nutty, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, honey, toast, biscuit dough, light caramel/nutty, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-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, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, honey, toast, biscuit dough, light caramel/nutty, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly crisp/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.8%. Overall this is an excellent IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth, easy, and fairly crisp to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish. Nicely soft and not overly aggressive. Definitely wasn't too fresh, but awesome Columbus/Simcoe showcase. Very juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy hops; with a nice sized dark/Munich malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering crisp resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive old school west coast style example.

Sample 6/8 at Snake River Brewing Co., Jackson. Clear dark golden with a small, off-white head. The aroma contains hops, pine, fruits (mango and grapefruit) and citrus. It tastes medium to heavy bitter and light sweet with a dry finish. Medium to full body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Nice balance with the fruitiness.
