16oz can. Poured a clear dark yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was pleasant crisp hops, very light sweetness - corn, mild grain, some very light citrus. Flavor was crisp, clean, and refreshing. Hit the spot.

Ever so slightly hazy deep peach and bronze coloured body with a copper tint, all below a thinnish, off-white head that fdaes fairly quickly, but leaves a small lace on the sides. Aroma of very strong bittered hops with a resinous and grapefruity note along with a good dash of malts here, some noticeable yeast and even a nuttiness at the very end of the nose. Medium-bodied; Rich malts show at first, but then are completely overtaken by the plentiful and bittering hops that show grapefruit and pine and finishes with a good balance, but a hint of alcohol warmth and some light sweetness. Aftertaste shows the piney, bitter hops with a good level of malts right behind and some light sweetness, but the nuttiness and a touch of dryness makes this a bit complex and enjoyable. Overall, a crisp and fairly old-school almost Imperial IPA that has a nice hop bite and is balanced well with malts. Good to sample and enjoyable for a local almost Imperial IPA that hits the marks fairly well without blowing any socks off. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 27-November-2020 for US$2,79 sampled in my house here in Washington on 03-July-2021 after just returning from Alaska and New York, being back at 'home'.
