Cheap can. Cloudy with a rocky head. Smell is that of a mild IPA. Taste is also bitter hop IPA. This is an IPA bastardized pale ale. Very little difference between a hazy IPA and a hazy pale ale; WTF? Was actually hoping this would be simply a well behaved hazy pale ale? I should have known better with an ABV of 6%, it was IPA. Oh well. Just another one of a billion IPA out there. I've actually tasted many IPA that was much less bitter and more civilized than this. Yea, it's even mouthcoating and lacks decent co2 like an IPA, but yet not quite as viscous as an impy. This is boring, but if you like IPA, try this. There you have it.

OK, got this for 2 bucks in a mixed six pack off the bargain shelf. It looks surprizingly like the other stardust. Somewhat hazy pale with a yellow tinted head and a thicker off white head. Aroma of tangerine is certainly present. I wonder since the original had the same nose if they just added some tangerine to make up for the unexpected olfactory, is what they are doing here. The fruit is pretty forward at first gulp, but then the IPA heavy hop thing kicks in; this is by no mistake a flavored double imperial IPA, thank you. Yea, its mind numbing alky content is going right to the brain, whew. So big, so nasty, so kick yer ass, is this. I'm thinking I'm going to catch a buzz on this happy BS. One big buzz on one can, yay! Except for the tangerine flavor, this is one bad ass beer; its nasty as ever for the lager lover. Great Gatsby, this is difficult to take. Rude-ass arrogant IPA that tries to deceive the drinker with some real life tangerine citrus flavors. Go figger; its straight up, forget yer brainy attitude. There you have it. WHEW! OK for a mouthcoating hoppy volatile RB tick but I'll never get this again. I'm seriously wondering how they can retail this for less than 2 bucks? Got to be at least 4$ worth of bitter hops in this. Oh well. Its a fact: Absolute, evident, irrefutable, unassailable, undeniable, and unquestionable.

Got this can for buck fitty off the bargain shelf. Date code is unreadable. I bet it's pretty old. As it sits in the glass, I can smell the odor of rude sweet body odor hop perfumed candy permeating the air. The eye is cloudy off pale with a thin pond scum head. First taste is volatile bitter hops, followed by a mild warming sensation down the throat. Whew; this is one big fat over-the-top rototiller churning across my taste buds. Wow, a big boozy brew that almost comes across like there is whisky in this stuff. Idaho 7 and away we go, off to another world. I'd swear there is much more alky in this than stated, did I say whew yet? A quick surprising left hook right in the jaw. Oh baby! In the end it's just another alky bomb that is so fricken bitter, but thankfully I think I'm ketchen a buzz on the finish. There, you have it. Buzzy beer fer sher.
