12 ounce can from Wine Warehouse. Gusher. Murky yellow, 4-finger white head, good retention. Aroma of citrus and pale malt. The taste is lemon juice, pine, pale malt. Medium bodied, high carbonation, lingering bitterness, astringent. 3 out of 4 cans with major flaws. One more to go. I'm just ticking these now to get rid of them. Most of the beer right down the drain. Maybe be able to finish the half of this beer that didn't gush.

Super hazy copper and bronze coloured body with a thick, soapy off-white head, about six centimetres tall. Aroma of very resinous and slightly piney hop notes with a lot of bitterness around, and even some bitterness from the malts, which add a sticky element and show some caramelised sugar notes near the end as well along with the astringency. Medium-bodied; Slightly piney flavour with more of a sticky malt character showing a ton of earthiness and an almost toasted note coupled with some more of the hops, this time showing a slightly resinous and herbal/woodsey flavour. Aftertaste shows some moderate complexity, mostly from the malts and sugars and much less so from the hops, which are relatively straight-forward. Overall, a nice-ish IPA that shows some sides that make it good, but some others, like the complexity/palate that show a substandard IPA. Nice to try, but much better beers in this price-point and even from this area [now] that are better to try than this. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Costco in Pentagon City (Arlington), Virginia on 13-August-2017 for US$7,99 sampled at home in Washington on 18-October-2017.

$1.85 can from Wine Warehouse. Pours a deep gold with a soft off-white head. Aroma of light citrus peel, straw, minor pine, mold. Flavor is heavy on the pine, grapefruit rind, grass, resin. Thick, creamy, sticky mouthfeel. Nice job.

Draft pour at BadWolf (Kao Circle). Poured a clear, dark orange color with a small white head. Aroma was light pine notes. Some funky notes, earthy hops. Tasty!
