Can, from Warehouse Liquors, Chicago, IL. Pours clear golden with a small foamy off-white head, faint malt aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter lightly piney malt taste with faint citrus peel, thin body, long finish. Well balanced DIPA.

16oz can c/o Ryan. 3+ months out from canning, the aroma and flavor have faded some. Resinous, clean, but the aroma is not that enjoyable anymore, kind of that green onion tone. Does drink like a West Coast IPA in most respects. I'm sure it is better fresh.

Herrlich fruchtig in der Nase, optisch sattes Gold, Schaum bricht schnell weg. Im Trunk recht mächtig, mittig bis spät auch alkoholisch, aber keine Keule. Guter hopfiger Absacker.

On tap at Maplewood, pours a hazy blonde with a small white bed. Aroma brings out pungent piney hops, citrus zest, and biscuity malt. Flavour is a bit harsh, with piney and citrus hops, citrus zest, and biscuity malt. A bit chaotic but still pretty solid.

Aromas are nice blend of citrus, dry grain, sweat, onions, weed, and malt. Flavors are similar to nose, with excellent balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Just right body and slightly sweet finish. Very nice beer.

Clear straw body, thick, puffy cream head leaving curtains of lacing. Aroma mixed fruits, including pineapple, peach, and white grape, with some light cattiness. Body moderately sweet with kiwi, pineapple, white grape, grapeskin, and a touch of pear.
