Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a hint of copper and a single centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of grass, malt, alcohol, metal and a bit of rice. Light to Medium-bodied; Nice grassy and herbal flavour of hops with a lot of hops and grassy flavours, but not that much malt - closest to a Light IPA in style with a slightly more pungent malt kick near the end. Aftertaste shows a lot of depth with the grassy and herbal hops, some light sugars of agave and a touch of peppery malt near the end. Overall, a nice and flavourful Light IPA that shows a bit al Wine in CD more alcohol (still not really noticeable) than most Light IPAs, but this one is well balanced. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Chantilly, Virginia on 31-January-2015 for U$2,49 sampled at home in Washington on 21-April-2015 a few hours after returning from the south.

Nice label on this can but it was on tap at bocktown. Very mild ipa floral aroma, mostly neutral. Big kik ass ipa hit from the start. Beefy yet its not thick on the palate. Sharp ipa bite bit it doesn’t build thru the session. Yes, remains constant and level headed through out. Even handed.

Can from Ian. Hazy orange, with a medium, rocky, off-white head. Bitter orange, peach, chalk, and resin. Sweet and citrusy, with a nice, sharp bitterness. Medium to heavy body, sticky, and very astringent. Overall, this us a nice, aggressive, sticky, and citrusy beer.

Bottle thanks to jbruner! Pours crystal clear orange with a lasting creamy medium off-white head that dissipates slowly leaving decent lacing. Aroma is citrus, passionfruit, grapefruit, spruce, perfume. Flavor is light sweet, light plus bitter, juicy and tropical with a bit of dankness. Just a bit harsh with some lingering bitterness. Light plus body, some oiliness. Pretty solid effort.

Location: 12 oz can from Hoboken Vine, 9/5/14
Aroma: The nose is fairly subdued, with pine hops, some fruity notes, and a bit of doughy malt
Appearance: It pours a clear orange color with a mid-sized off-white head and mid-heavy lace
Flavor: The taste is quite dry/bitter, some doughy notes, and a bitter, slightly fruity close
Palate: The body is medium-plus, it has an average carbonation, and a lengthy, dry finish
Overall Impression: Interesting example of the style. I found the aroma to be surprisingly bland, actually. The flavor is sort of one-dimensional bitter, but that bitterness is done pretty well. Solid, but not a favorite in the style for me.
