Extensively hopped and dry hopped with a big roster of hops – Simcoe, Centennial, Cascade, Ahtanum, Chinook, and Amarillo – it’s big, bright, and floral, with just enough malt to balance. This American-style I.P.A. stands head and shoulders above its hoppy brethren, blending pale and honey malts to balance the palate without interfering in your herbal reverie, and creating a new American classic.

12 oz. can, clear gold color with thin lasting head after the pour. Aroma is nice bright mix of floral and citrus hops. Light traces of pine as well.
No kind of date stamp found on the can but no matter… it clearly is fresh. The bright floral and citrus is upfront followed by a pale malt and grain body. Mild pine in the finish gives it a nice array of hop flavor. Tastes like a higher gravity, bolder IPA… DIPA like. Super drinkable and I crack open a second can directly after the 1st. Very nice.

Can thnx to Dan ! Drank from the can , no info on the pour . Smell is hoppy , floral , balanced intensity , pine , sweet , some spices ( ? ) Taste is bitter , pine , intence yet light mouthfeel . Good carbonation . Bitter and malty back . Balanced , but perhaps a bit too thin and common . Very nice tjough ! Edit - never looked at the abv . Drinks like an DIPA , so expected this to be like 8-9 abv . At 6,5 , this is quite damn nice , so a well deserved 4+ !

Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy gold with small off white head. The aroma is citrus and honey. Medium mouthfeel with fruity hop and sweet finish. Easy to drink, good IPA.

Pours gold into a shaker. White head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Resin aromas. Sweet with tropical fruit and dry resin front to back.
