Canned from GCT. Piney resin from the hops bit not too overpowered. A decent IPA but not their best.

Clear copper and light bronzed coloured body with a thin tan head. Aroma of nuts, earth, metal and a hint of perfume - not much depth in the hop notes nor complexity. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive nuts and earthy flavours with a touch of metal and some subdued grain flavours. Aftertaste shows yeast, corn, malt, earth and nothing too pleasant or anything resembling hops. Overall, a surprisingly mundane beer with no character nor impressive flavours - this one is very passable and definitely not worth searching out. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Good Beer in New York, New York on 25-April-2014 for US$2,59 sampled at home in Washington on 06-Novmeber-2014 a day before leaving back for New York.

12oz can courtesy of markwise. It pours with a copper body that supports a dirty white head of foam. The aroma offers up a mix of pine hops and sweet maltiness where I’m getting a sliver of citrus hops off in the background. The taste delivers a nice mix of pine hop flavor and bitterness as well as snippets of citrus hops amid a thin river of a sweet malty base. Pretty nice IPA.

Sampled from a 12 oz an this beer poured a dark orange-caramel color with a huge creamy orange-white head that lingered left good lacing. The aroma was tropical fruits, tangy malts, honey, lemon and pine. The flavor was bitter pine, tropical fruits and sugar. Turns dry long the long bitter hoppy finish. Moderately full bodied. Nice.

Can sample at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks Ariel. Clear deep golden with an off-white head. Hoppy aroma, kinda fruity. Hoppy fruity flavor, a bit "green", with a mildly sweetish malty backbone and a pleasant bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Quite nice.
