2$ can from vintage. Interesting clean fresh permeating near pine aroma. Color is that of fresh lemonade. Head is big white and foamy then goes to a medium crag. My first texture impression into my pie hole is that has very good carbonation for an IPA; those nearly flat ones are hard to take. On the flavor, I don't really care for IPA but this one comes across a little more refreshing. It seems to not be heavy handed in the bitter arena. The date code on this if 2/25 so its not really 'fresh' per se. Either way, this may be on the better side of my IPA ratings. Not as good as Pizza Boy Murren River, Diamond Knot IPA nor Epic Escape to Colorado; but it is OK for me, considering it is an IPA. In the end, I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised and, this is even better and less bitter than many APA I've tried - so it probably would not appeal to dedicated IPA lovers.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours hazy grapefruit gold with a moderate white head. Citrus wafts from the pour. Med body. Juicy but towards dry and moderately bitter. Flavor is grapefruit pith, other citrus and a little pine. Very nice.

Light citrus and tropical fruity aroma and taste, sweet malty backing with a medium to light body, bitter edged restrained hoppy finish. Ok supermarket fayre.
