16 oz. can thanks to Rob B. The color is mostly clear gold in an overly carbonated can. Had to wait about 5 minutes just to get a full pint, the can also gushed a bit. Aroma is ok, muted citrus and weak pine, malt.
The flavor shows more sweet rather than a blast of hops. The backbone of sweet malt nearly wipes out the hop flavors. Light mango, cantaloupes, mild pine notes that becomes real bitter in the finish. I’m confused because it has a very sweet flavor of malts and honey that gets aggressive in the finals part of the sip. Seems with this much sweetness that wouldn’t be possible but it is.

16oz can I grabbed at the Warren Store. Pours a clear, dark gold with some cloudy, ringing white head. Nose is resinous, a little chivey, lemon, grapefruit, soap, pine. Flavor is sweet but also punchy, honey, lemon, pine, grapefruit, mild chive, tangerine, some garlic scape. Full bodied, sticky, resinous finish.

Citrus and lots of malt. Amber pour with good head and ratings. Medium bitter finish with some sweetness. Good balance, and nice malt. Bottle.

12 oz can from a trade with WillRunForBeer. Pours hazy amber color with off white head. Caramel and pine aromas. Sweet caramel flavor with some bitter pine hops. Medium body with average carbonation. More malty than I like for an IPA but still decent. Thanks Brian.

I picked this up in Maine, July 2014. Caramel up front. Lots of flowers, hops citrus, and fresh grass in the aroma. Smooth flavor but not very bitter at all, and the aroma is far more interesting than the flavor. Dry finish.
