Can. Deep gold/amber body with a frothy white head. Light aroma of grapefruit, orange, toasted grain, caramel. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Not much aroma, light on flavor. Judging by the name, you'd think the hops would be assertive.

Pours amber with a thick white head. Aroma of coriander and fruit. Taste is hoppy with a sweet malt backbone. Palate includes coriander, guava, tropical fruits and hops. Certainly this beer deserves its reputation.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 2/27/2018. Over carbonated, and took some time to pour. Pours lightly hazy golden orange/amber color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with amazing retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lemon, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, light pepper/pine, toasted bread, light honey/caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big lemon, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, toasted bread, light honey/caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, toasted bread, light honey/caramel, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/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 and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is a delicious IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink with the moderately bitter/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Great Galena, Cascade, and Nelson Sauvin profile. Very juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; nice bready malt backbone, with no residual sweetness from crisp dryness. Would love to try it at regular carb. Could not detect much/if any Brett, so it was fine otherwise. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

Smooth old school hop, from before my untappd days, still good. Great hop notes, smooth 7%, cool ass art.
