Canned. Pours a lighter transparent brown. Foamy head. Floral hop aroma. similar taste, a bit of caramel. Not bad for a lower alcy beer.

12 oz can poured. I always love the artwork on the cans from these guys. Very tasty beer here. Pours a cloudy orange color with a ton of head and lace. Sweet grapefruit like aroma. Full of flavor for such a light session. Juicy mango and citrus. Delicious session. Loved it.

Can: Orange and caramel color, sort of muddy. Large sandy head and tons of lacing. Nose is mild, citrus and florals, some malt. There is more floral hop flavor than expected, but not overwhelming by any means. Light citrus and bits of caramel. Likeable, but forgettable.

Can. Nose of biscuity malt, some caramel, sweet orange, tropical fruit. Cloudy dark orange. Crisp tropical and citrus hop flavor with light but meaty malts and a very bitter finish. Crisp and light. Nice.

Date on the bottom of the can reads: \"Enjoy by 08/05/14.\"
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance had a hazy burnt orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving a whole lot of foamy lacing. Once the head died down, there were some valleys of a head.
The smell had some citrus and piney hops but it also carried a light \"soapiness\" to it, English malts?, could be...
The taste was basically the same without the soapy malts going on.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. There was a long bittersweet aftertaste and a sticky finish.
Overall, not a bad beer. To me, it seemed like an English session IPA, oh boy new style, God I hope I won’t be lynched for saying that.

12 oz can purchased at TC Craft Beer, Wine, and Spirits in New Hope, Minnesota. Canned 09/25/13. The pour is a hazed orange golden with a two inch foamy white head. The aroma is caramel malt along with a bit of resin floral hop and then some cardboard in the back. The taste is the cracker caramel malt up front, along with faint resin grass floral hop. The palate is light bodied with soft carbonation and a mineral slight cardboard finish. Easy drinking, I am sure it is much brighter fresh.
