Wiping your rear with a pine cone is about as rough as camping should get. That’s why we invented this portable IPA in a can. A hoppy, refreshing beverage that goes great with campfires, bears, granola, and mosquito repellent. Happy Camping!

Location: 12 oz can from Central Market, 8/19/13, New Mexico tick #1!
Aroma: The nose is caramel malts and pine/grapefruit hops, with some mild buttery notes
Appearance: A clear amber-orange color with a small white head and some sticky/streaky lace
Flavor: Tastes much the same, light sweet and a mid-plus bitterness, just a hint of "off" flavor
Palate: Medium body, with some stickiness, soft carbonation, good drinkability, and a dry finish
Overall Impression: It is not a bad one at all, but it's just a little off, and in this style, being a little off tends to but you on the lower end. I wanted to go higher as this is a nice, drinkable, canned IPA, with a solid hop profile, but it just feels a touch flawed...

Can via trade with brokephibroke. Hazy copper body, medium puffy beige head. Nose of moderate intensity with citrus rind and toasty malts. Somewhat thin body but with a nice piny, hops bite and toasty malt base. Pretty good.

12 ounce can. Pours a clear copper color with a medium white head. A sweet nose of caramel malt. Much like a hoppy amber ale: sweet earthy biscuit, some caramel, crystal malt, light citrus, some bitterness in the finish. Not bad. Easygoing.

Can, big long lasting dense head, clear deepish copper colour,aroma of pine and citrus, biscuity malty flavour that is a touch too sweet with a strong and abraisive grapefruit bitterness and some herbal touches. Good solid IPA.

Can, thanks to Trukpro. Talk about a sexy looking beer! Bright copper pour with a large, creamy beige head. Sticky lacing. Piney, grapefruit, and citrus hops aroma. Flavorful with hops; pine resin, light grapefruit, and caramel malts. Finishes great too. Lingering piney/grapefruit sticks throughout the mouth. As far as drinkable and high-quality IPAs go, this is very well done.

From a 12 oz can shared in Breckenridge CO. Pours a clear amber with an off white head. Grassy aroma. More grass in the flavor with some citrus notes. Decent IPA.

Can shared at a tasting at the new Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks Ruben for this can! Clear deep golden. Hoppy aroma, a bit floral and a bit citric with a light caramel note. Flavor has light malty sweetness and nice bitter grapefruity hops. Medium-bodied. Decent.

Can. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma has notes of musty grains with some pine hops and just a bit of grass underlying. Flavor has a nice grass hop note with some earthy grains and just a bit of sweetness.
