Can. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a light sweet citrus and a bit of pine with grass and hay backing. Flavor has a light sweet citrus, a touch of pine bitterness with sweet grains and straw backing.

Perfectly clear golden coloured body with a thinnish, one to perhaps two centimetre tall pure white head that fades fairly quickly. Aroma of grass, light pine, herbs, a dash of perfume and some moderate grapefruit notes - fairly nice and nothing intense through any of the scents. Medium-bodied; Relatively pungent grassy, herbal and very perfumey hop notes dominate with a lot of alpha acids and bitterness towards the end with some smooth, but noticeable malts that add to the balance, but the hops are still stronger, of course. Aftertaste shows a mellow sweetness from some citrus fruits, with a light dose of malted barley to complicate the relatively straight-forward hoppiness and piney bitterness that comes from thise one. Overall, a nice and relatively pungent, older school (read, bitter and piney) real IPA that has a lot of flavours and more hops than malt, but still a decent enough balance is struck, and the pungency remains to the end. A nice beer to sample and a bit better off fresh (way more hops and bitterness) then when sampled even a few weeks past the purchase date! I sampled this sixteen ounce, canned [bottle] container, complete with screw-top cap, purchased as a four-pack from the Ellison Store (gas station/general store) in Ellison, Montana on 28-July-2020 for US$9,49 for the four pack, with three of them drunk soon afterwards, while on vacation and this one staying with me back across the entire country and sampled at my house here in Washington on 27-September-2020.
