Can, gusher when opened, darnit! Slight haze on a pale beer. First impression on the palate is it has a ton of carbonation; I like that in an IPA, it detracts from the terribly bitter hop bite. Taste reminds me of the old Great Divide Hot Shot. Yes, tons of bitterness lurking in there, certainly enough to earn its style. Not sure if I get this thing about making a lager that tastes like an IPA, seems like an oxymoron. I'm not an IPA lover so take this with a grain of salt; one of the better IPA I've had in a while.
