473mL can. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Bright pine, caramelized orange peels on the nose. Flavour has bitter orange peels, pine, some dirty dankness, and a solid malt base. Pretty solid IPA.

Opaque with a thick head. Fruity, weedy hop character. Good malt. Light alcohol. Tasty IPA, but there's some solid brewers on this so not surprised.

Bottle: Poured a clear amber color ale with a nice off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops notes with light bitter notes also noticeable. Taste is a mix of citrusy hops with light resinous notes with hints of dry caramel malt notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not bad but more bitter then I was expecting with more dry caramel malt that I usually like in my beers.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a tan head that lasts throughout the beer and laces. Aroma has notes of pine and resin with a hint of grapefruit and and a decent amount of sweet grains. Flavor has more sweet grain with some biscuit and supporting notes of earthy pine and resin.
