Can from Joe's Wine and Liquor, Memphis. Aroma is fruity with citrus, orange, zesty tangerine, fruit peel, tropical fruits, grapefruit. Flavour is moderate sweet and firmly bitter. Body is medium. Pretty good for a fruited IPA, no candied artificiality.

Can from Joe's Wines and Liquor, Memphis. Aroma is fruity and piney hops with grapefruit, orange, some Mosaic dankness, citrus, more tropical fruits. Flavour is moderate sweet and firmly bitter. Body is medium. Tasty IPA from Stone, like a classic West Coast IPA with some of that hip dankness without losing its classic character.

Can at home shared with Laura. A bit hazy yellow color, full sized white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, floral, sweetish, candy notes, a bit bitter, but also a bit weird. The mix between the flavors is not complementary. Hmm not a fan.

(Can) Cloudy pale amber colour with frothy, tan head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of mango, herbs (jasmine, bergamot), orange marmalade and dried pineapple. Fruity, hoppy taste with mango, orange marmalade, dried pineapple, orange candy, herbs and a generous citric/herbal bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Fruity and hoppy with a good touch of herbs and tea. Very nice.

Can from Mr. Hop. Aroma is piney hop with citrus, orange, grapefruit, pine resin, malt, touch of caramel. Flavour is moderate sweet with a bitter finish. Body is medium. Piney and bitter, very good IPA in the Stone tradition. I strangely miss the days of hunting for Stone, Alesmith and Port Brewing beers...
