I got this 16 oz can courtesy of Halftime and it shows a born-on date of 9/12/22. Out of the cabinet is my Cowtown snifter to handle the tasting this evening. I lift the can into the glass to see a semi-transparent light gold body with a decent head of snow white foam. The scent is pine with a background of tropical and grass. The drink tilts mostly towards being a West Coast IPA but does have some NE presence. Citrus, pine cones, a touch of pineapple and the sweetness that goes with that, malt, biscuits and an all right hops bitterness. 150 IBU? That's are bit hard to wrap my head around. Still, this is a good retro IPA.

Brooklyn Burgers and Beer: pours gold with white head. Aroma is grapefruit, some light pine. West Coast, but pretty mellow when it comes to bitterness. Nice hop character. Perhaps a tad soapy.

Can from Beer On the Wall Arlington Heights. Pours a clear gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Honey, honeydew melon, pineapple, blueberry and dank citrus on the nose. More of the same on the palate. Drying finish with some tangerine, pineapple and dank berry notes. Can't believe it's taken me so long to track this one down. Expectations exceeded!

Superficial festival rating at Brew Festival, Oslo 2022. Saturday session 1. Slightly unclear golden body under a big, lacing white head. Nice, strong aroma, citric fruit, grapefruit, pine and pale malt. Taste is smooth, sweet malt, fruity hops, some pine and actually balanced bitterness. Would expect 150IBU to feel more bitter. Fine body and nice, fruity and bitter aftertaste. This kind of real IPA’s not seen too often anymore.

On tap at Brew Festival. It's a foggy pale golden colored beer with a big, creamy white head leaving curtains. The aroma is mostly piney and grapefruity, with some alcohol hints and a nice maltyness. It's full-bodied, smooth and very lightly warming, with a good bitterness and a lovely sweetness level. Can't really say it felt like 100+ IBU. Piney and grapefruity flavor too, with a backdrop of pale malts. Lasting finish. A delicious and not too complicated DIPA, would love to have this again. 220430

Can. Almost clear gold with a cm of white head. Big tropical fruit aroma with bread crust and pine. Some medicinal notes. Just nudging up on syrupy. Moderate carbonation. Sweet to very sweet with tropical and citrus travel lollies, tropical fruit, honey, pine. Dries out a bit with some overt alcohol. Firm bitterness doesn't seem harsh or nagging. Good.
