Hazy gold pour. Sweet citrus flavor with zest palate. Full body. More citrus peel and pith flavor than many beers this style.

Pounder can for 1$ off clearance rack. Pour is slight haze on light orange tinted pale. Nice head fades to pond scum. Nose is alarming thick hop perfume; slight diesel, slight BO. First big gulp is viscous mouth coating crappy bitter hand soap. Terribly on style, hehehh. Difficult for any lager lover. Bitterness sets in the back of the throat and won't go away, its like the back of my tongue cannot be rinsed of this acrid character. After a few more gulps I'm hoping the alky in this will dull my senses a little so I won't mind it's terribleness. In the middle I keep drinking, whew, what a master blaster this is to my girlie lager loven taste buds, whew, whew whew. Am I drinking pine sap tar reduced with turpentine? Not sure, but I bet this tastes like that. In the end I'm thinking this is punishment; simple painstaking, paltry, putrid, panicky, paradoxical punishment. Glad I got 16 ounces of this such that I'm getting a little dizzy towards the end of this 7+ alky brew. Finishes with a wicked whiny wonky. weird whack to the brain and taste sensations. Go figger; a tick to resent for quite a while. There, you have it. Just like any other million straight away rude ass IPA out there. Please, somebody give me an ice cold cheap pale american macro lager to chase this with!

16 ounce can from DeCicco’s in Armonk, NY. Orange gold color. Smallish puffy white head. Piney hop aroma. Flavor is dank and sticky. Hops dominate here. Bittersweet notes lean toward grapefruit and coniferous trees. This is a classic West Coast style IPA. Dry and bitter throughout. Quite enjoyable.

Can from Systembolaget. Lovely old yet fruity hop - passion fruit. Can exploded everywhere for some reason so not sure if it's quite flat because of that. Foamy head that dissapeared over time. Nice fruity taste with good bitterness. Great balance of flavours and profile, just a little creamy flat for me. Would love to try on tap someday.
