Nice clear coloured copper and bronze body with a solid three centimetre tall just off-white, rather soapy head. Aroma of grass, hay, light earth, some nuts and a healthy dose of flowers and malt. Medium-bodied; Assertive malt characteristics at first with some nuts, earth and a smooth, but noticeable floral and great bitterness from the hops that shows a deeper and more nutty finish than I expected, but still nice and well-rounded with the hops showing through, but the nuttiness and pure maltiness make this far removed from a traditional 'west-coast' IPA. Aftertaste is rich and deep with a lot of nuts and malt support, and perhaps more than the relatively mild hop notes that do show through and only seem to have some pepper, flowers and light citrus with a touch of pine as well. Overall, a decent enough beer, but nothing special in terms of an IPA or especially an east-coast produced West Coast IPA, which definitely didn't work for this one. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville, New Jersey on 22-June-2019 for US$3,19 sampled in my hotel room here in Lexington Park, Maryland on 18-September-2019.

Pours a somewhat hazy dark amber from a tap. Not much aroma, pine and vomit, somewhat similar flavor. Okay beer.

16 ounce can. Hazy amber orange color. Small bubbly white head. Earthy, yeasty grainy nose. Tangy sour citrus malt flavor. Notes of apricot and wheat. Some spicy notes. Cardamom and grains of paradise come to mind. Middle has tart dry notes with a hint of gooseberries. Tart, dry finish.
