Pour is a bright orange with a large whtie head. Aroma is a nice pine resin. Flavor is also a decent hop with a fair amount of malts showing up. It’s no modus hoperandi but this is a pretty decent canned IPA.

bottle thanks to Cavie! Pours hazy orange with a medium frothy off white head. Sour lemon and orange aroma with little to no hop aroma. Sour and slightly sweet hay notes mix with a bittersweet finish of grass and thin peppery hops.

Shaker pint draft at 810 Zone in Leawood, Kansas. Pour is orange amber brown, clear, with a 2 inch off white head. Nice settling. Aroma of resin, wood, some floral earth bitterness, balanced nicely with a toasted biscuit maltiness. Fresh and clean. Taste has nice toasted mildly sweet caramel malt followed quickly by the mild resin earth bitterness of the nose. As with the aroma, very natural and fresh. Palate is medium, lowish carbonation, with a nice caramel mineral element to the finish. Nice one.

Bottle thanks to cavie. Pours with a white head and a golden body. Aroma of apple, lemon, hops and caramel. Taste is hops, caramel and tea. Light bubbles. Very tame.

This beer came in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a lovely vibrant orange-amber color with a large orange-beige head that lingered and created great lacing. The aroma was very tart, bitter and sour with moderate fruity hops. There was an odd but interesting sourness to the aroma. The flavor was full of strong fruity and piney hops and tart & tangy malts with a light underlying sourness. Very sweet overall with a moderate bready element. The finish was long, tart, sour and fruity. The body was thick, full and smooth. Lovely.

Pours quaintly so with a medium sized head that fades into a moderate lacing. The color is clear copper, has just a slightly sticky lacing. Aroma is a mish mash of hops with nothing standing out. Its aggressive, lightly fruity, bitter. There is a watery caramel maltiness mixing in there as well. Its very tree leaf like and that mixes with the light, watery caramel, which is not aggressive or overbearing. Comes off as bland tea as well. Taste is similar, the bitterness is stepped up a bit, the malts fade, which is a good thing. The hops are bitter, green, leafy and somewhat clean. Heck, its an IPA, not badly made, nothing special, and well... its an IPA. I can say for sure this is the best bottled beer in Kansas at this time, which isn’t really saying much. I guess FlssmrBrewAlum says it best "not an IPA that stands out among many, but a brew I’d buy if it was a regular in my area" and it happens to be that.
12oz bottle BB 4/30/09 (I would guess these are 6 month BBs), 20th Anniversary Free State German-inspired pint glass. 7/3/7/3/15
Drinking the second batch of this beer. I like the little tinkering, they took away some of the lightly abrasive bitterness and replaced some of that watery caramel with more of a medley, light sweet hoppiness. Leaves a nice long light sweet and floral aftertaste. I like it a bit more now. 7/3/8/3/16
