12oz can. Filtered orange-tan body. Creamy, steady off-white head. Rich, full bodied. Pretty big beer at 7.1%. Lets the malt shine. There is some classic NW bitterness, resinous, piny hop action, a hint of melon. A decent enough IPA.

12 oz bottle purchased as a single at Beer Crazy in Urbandale, Iowa. The pour is clear golden with a bunch of fine carbonation bubbles and a frothy one inch white head that falls fast. The aroma is sweaty earth, weird cereal sweet and not much else. The taste is pine sharp bitter, grass, some grapefruit peel citrus and then an odd herbal medicinal taste. Improves a bit as it warms. The palate is light to medium bodied, soft carbonation and a dry bitter earth off taste in the long finish. Extra point for the Paul Cebar reference on the name and the mention on the can. That would be weird even for a Milwaukee brewery.
