473ml can. Pours an opaque dark brown, almost black with a medium, creamy, long lasting, tan head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet, spicy aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, molasses, cinnamon, ginger and coffee. Sweet flavour of chocolate malt, lactose, ginger, toffee and cinnamon in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. I was hoping for a little more spice. Too sweet for me.

Can Shakedown Awakening that pours a slightly unfiltered golden colour, with a big frothy-creamy warm head, good retention and lots of foamy lacing. Fresh citrus aromas from the Citra hops, so more of an East-Coast smell. Some floral notes do come out with very light caramel malts. The flavours are hoppy, with some piney notes as in the West Coast-style, but fairly mild overall. Some decent bitterness, and dryness that lingers. A nice IPA with the West Coast look and flavours, but a nose of East Coast, with hints in the taste.
