Pretty good IPA, with a good bit of resin and tropical fruit, backed up by grapefruit zest and a mild sweetness. Finishes piney and dry. Nice.

This is a really cool looking can. Its pale yellow, its foaming, its permeating the area with hops nose. It so bitter, its like chewing on green grapefruit rinds, maybe even juiced out green grapefruit pulp, whew. I love that train on the label, the label makes this IPA somewhat interesting. Tastes like its a little stronger than 6%. Fer-sher, it has a somewhat euphoric effect in the middle. You certainly can pick out the citrus, especially in the war of unripened grapefruit rinds between bordering countries LOL! That effect carries over to the finish as well, the bitter, almost terrible, flavor, dead on IPA. Whew, so bitter, almost astringent but ain't. In the end, the flavor borders on the session skunk cabbage characteristic taste but not quite.

6 day old can A: Quite clear pale gold with a short long lasting head. To be fair the can says juicy but not hazy. S: Very tropical. Peach, pineapple, a little tart citrus and faint caramel. T: Balanced first sip with wood and tart fruits. Fairly bitter. More citrus than the nose but with tropical flavors mingling in. Even a hint of pine at the end. M: Light medium weight with low soft carbonation and light rough resin to finish. O: A very pleasant surprise. Nicely layered flavors, good texture and it even looks good.
