Got this from the dollar rack at JR's. I drank this right from the can and I guess its hazy pale with an ever so slight orange tint as stated in other ratings below. I cannot give the time of day, nor waste a glass on another IPA. Before I even start to guzzle this, I was hoping for something a little more kick ass than just 5%. Pop the lid and smell is sweet hop perfume, something like the nectar of a friendly flower. Taste? Well, I was expecting something a little more bitter. Yes, it is definitely in the IPA range, with its lasting bitter bite, but I feel a little bit of something; a little more friendly, must have been the hard day at work, just saying. That probably biased my taste buds a little: They were just glad to get some beer after an 8 hour work day. Just saying. Yea, I think that's it. The can says it has craples hops and that's just what hops do, add a bit of crap to the taste and its evident here. Oh well, there you have it, another one of a billion IPA out there, just not quite as insulting as most. BTW, it does have some decent co2 in there, helps to detract from the bitter craples bite.

6 week old can A: Poured gently to a 1/2 head with decent retention atop a bright but very hazy pale orange body. Spotty lace. S: Sweet tropical fruit nose features lots of citrus and peach notes. T: Dry and pretty bitter with citrus pith and grapefruit pulp. Pine follows. Low sweetness but some crackery malt provide balance. M: Medium light with average carbonation, smooth texture and fairly clean wet finish. O: Sweet nose but bitter taste. Engaging. Nice enough to buy again.
