Can from BrewDog Castlegate. It pours bright red with a quickly dissipating white head. The aroma is soft, fresh raspberry, tart, jammy, sour candy, must and grainy funk. The taste is crisp, pretty dry, tart, pithy, zesty, raspberry skin, cranberry, lemony wash, toasted wheat and grass with a dry finish. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. Not much depth to it. Not bad anyhow.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours lightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, lime, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, lemon zest, orange peel, pepper, pine, light honey, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lime, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, lemon zest, orange peel, pepper, pine, light honey, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus peel, peppery, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lime, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, lemon/orange peel, pepper, pine, biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hops flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready, grainy, sticky, resinous, and lightly rindy balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an outstanding IPA! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink; with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Really loved the hop profile. Ekuanot, Centennial, and Cascade; with big focus on the Ekuanot, one of my favorite hops. Extremely dank and vibrant hop complexity; solid bready malt backbone, with no residual sweetness. A highly enjoyable offering.

Sample at the Cleveland taproom during the "Ohio is for *beer* Lovers" event on 10/14/2017. Clear orange color with a medium thin bone white head that dissipates steadily to a wispy film. Herbal hops, stone fruit and malt aroma. Medium to full body with flavors of tropical fruit, herbal hops and bready malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
