Best I can recall, this 12 oz can came from a beer-friendly liquor store in Colorado Springs back in the middle of the summer. So that leads me to using my New Belgium globe glass this evening. A frothy pour for sure, lots of parchment colored foam on top of a semi-transparent, dark gold body. The smell indicates a throwback IPA, resin, grain, a hard candy sweetness and straw. The taste follows along with that, very hoppy but not really a bomb, caramel, malt, corn syrup, a touch of citrus and cedar. Perhaps sweet and bitter in equal amounts. I am reminded of 120 Minute, a beer I like, with this one.

12 ounce can. Amber gold pour. Large frothy beige head. Bold fruity hop nose hints at dark berries, stone fruit and grapefruit. Intense dank citrus and pine upfront. Sweet grapefruit and stone fruit notes. Boozy notes in finish. Complex and satisfying. Pure West Coast DIPA.

12oz bottle on 27th Dec 2019, into a La Chouffe glass in California. Full off-white head on an amber body that is hazy. Hop bitter, piney and citrusy, solid malty base. Nice.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, 9/2/19. Canned a while ago (12/13/18) so I'll give it some credit. But this brewery is always on clearance. They're long past their prime. If any brewery reeks breweries you drank when you joined RateBeer over 11 years ago and don't still drink today it's this one. Indeed most of my ratings seem to be from 2008-2009. More power to them, I guess. Obviously something is going right. Onto this one... Hazy orange, large creamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of floral, leafy hops, caramel, grapefruit. Taste is toffee, grapefruit, lime, pine. Medium bodied, strong lingering bitterness. Old school and a bit old, but a good strong classic DIPA. Good way to end the night (er... early morning).

From a 355ml can on 11/3/2018. Pours a cloudy golden orange with a small head. Has a a lovely aroma featuring caramel, fruit and a touch of honey. In the mouth it's bold, yet beautifully balanced - lots of sweet citrus fruit, some honey and marmalade, a big caramel malt background, and big piney, resiny hops finishing it all off. Fullish body with moderate to average carbonation. Just fantastic. Big, complex, satisfying and extremely tasty. The best American DIPA I've had in quite a while.
