12 oz. bottle from Shaw's grocery store in South Portland, Maine. Pours a clear gold color with a white head and decent retention. Spotty lacing. Aroma of hops and light grapefruit. The taste follows the nose: Light hops flavor with light grapefruit bitterness. Light body. Slightly low carbonation. A session hazy light beer.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Cigarette City. Appearance is clear, light copper with minimal sparkle, finger width foamy off-white head with good retention and nice sudsy lacing. Aroma is citrus, dank earthy resin, tropical fruit. Taste is balance of sweet tropical fruit and citrus with bitter earthy resin. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, soft-to-average carbonation, dry, fairly crisp lightly bitter finish. Overall, strong aromas and flavors for a session IPA. A little to the bitter side for me, but good.

From the can. Hay and lemon aromas. Soft with hay, toasted nuts and bready sourdough and pumpernickel before the lasting bitter earth finish. Does not improve as it warms.
