Tall boy can, vigorously poured into my shaker pint. Dark caramel color, clear and full of floaties. Topped with a large beige head, two fingers at first. The nose is moderately rich; citrus and floral. Some caramel. Well-developed hops flavor; citrus, grapefruit, and piney. Faint floral and earthy bits. Strong, but not overly bitter or sweet. Good brew.

Draft - Tangerine no tropical fruit. Clear gold with a rich beige head. Light tropical fruit and sweetness with a bit of grain. Not as good as it sounds.

This is my third one and this one was currently poured into a pint glass.
Bottom of the can said \"12/09/14.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy orange color. A fair amount of floaties roamed about with a thin sixteenth finger’s worth of white semi-foamy head that dissipated within a decent twenty seconds. Light spider web to off sort of all over lacing speckled the glass all around.
The smell had a fairly decent malted grapefruit-esque to slight piney to floral part coming about.
The taste was fairly bittersweet with a fairly leading grapefruity to piney edge and leading to a smoothed out sort of decent citrus aftertaste. A fairly nice palatable semi-dry finish accompanies the aftertaste.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent carbonation to it. 7.5%, hmmmm....canning date, makes me think, hmmmm....yeah, well, uh...(wishing for something just a tad fresher).
Overall, I say this was a pretty good AIPA, however, I wish I had this a tad bit fresher, ah, oh well.

Can from The Beer Junction, Seattle
Hazy amber color. The aroma is quite fruity and nice, the flavor is caramelly and a bit cloying.

473ml can from Bottleworks, Seattle, WA
Bottled 05/08/14 - Pours dark orange with a smooth head. Aroma of fresh grassy hops, pine, resinous notes, caramely malts and fruits. Taste is malty, grassy, hoppy and sweet with loads of pine, resinous notes and caramel. Finish is resinous, piney and hoppy with lingering bitterness and maltiness. Nice one.

16 oz can from a trade with CaptainHook. Pours hazy copper color with off white head. Some sediment in the bottom of the glass. Pine and caramel aroma with a hint of citrus. Bitter pine flavor with some sweet caramel and grapefruit. Medium body with average carbonation. Good stuff. Thanks Jeremy.

16 ounce can bought at a local grocery store. 4 pack for 9 bucks. Not bad considering they were bombers. Actually a good deal. Pours a bright orange color with a large white head. Big sweet fruity nose. Great flavor: marmalade, orange peel lengthy bitterness, light toast, big orange almost bursting through, leaves with tons of bitterness and resin in the tail. Really subtle in ways that Pliny is. That is, balance along with huge dominant bitter hops. Actually the more I have this the more I think it tastes like Pliny. A bit lighter but similar. Simcoe is huge. Excellent job.

Cask at GBBF 2013. It pours clear amber with a small bubbly white head. The nose is wood, resin, sweet honey, light floral and earth. The taste is bitter-sweet, oily, varnish, wood, earth, resin, unami aspect, caramel and alcohol. Medium body, low carb and oily mouth-feel. A bit cloying after a bit, but decent nonetheless...

Super nice, very hazy bronze coloured body with a bright orange glow and a thick, three centimetre tall tan creamy head - this is an amazing looking IPA! Aroma of floral and very piney hops with a nice sweet smell and a good amount of malt and alcohol. Medium-bodied; Assertive grassy and resinous hop flavour at first with a good malt backbone, some subtle sweetness and then fades to some more hops - this time a bit more earthy and perfumey. Aftertaste shows a nice complexity from the hops with some solid malt flavours and a good level of alcohol. Overall, this is a well crafted IPA with a nice balance of malt and hops and an even better complexity from hops. I sampled this 50 cL can purchased from Bottleworks in Seattle, Washington on 10-February-2013 for US$3.50 sampled at home in [the real] Washington on 30-June-2013 in celebration of my birthday!
