Canned. Reddish orange pour. Decent head. Your standard citrus and hoppy notes but tending to malty. Ok.

12 oz. bottle from a grocery store in South Portland, Maine. Pours a crystal clear bronze-gold color with a large khaki head and great retention. Good lacing. Piney hops aroma. Tastes like a typical IPA with piney hops and a bitter finish. Medium body and good carbonation. Pretty bitter. The 6.9% ABV is fairly hidden. A pretty glass of bitterness.

12oz can thanks to Toby pours out copper gold topped with a white head. Nose is nice grapefruit pine dank hops and some sweet malts. Taste is more of the nice citrus hops and a well balanced malt bill.
