Sample at Gallo's Taproom Powell. Pours a hazy yellow-gold color with a thin white head that evaporates quickly to a film. Short strings of lace. Aroma of apple, cranberry and wheat. Light-bodied with flavors of mildly tart apple, cranberry, wheat and a bit of spice. The finish is fruity with a cran-apple aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Blue can from vintage. A little hazy pale. Smell is quite floral with perfumy hops. Taste is little rubbery and veggie like many IPA and it does not quite rise to the bitterness of a IPA but it sure bordres on the territory of one. Yes, a stronger APA I'd say. Leaves a thicker mouth coating finish like a ubiquitous IPA too.

Can. Clear pale yellow. Fresh mild perfumy hops spiked nose. Taste is typical IPA, rude crude and mouth coating. Yes, just one of another ubiquitous IPA. So be it, so boring. Not north high's, but any IPA. If you like IPA, it's terribly on style. There you have it; let's put a little handsoap in a vat of turpentine and mix it with natural rubber which is blended with green grapefruit rinds and fermented spruce sap, blah blah blah, heheh. Some warming sensations permeate the gullet in teh end.

Can at Hills Market during the Sam's Fans Charity Happy Hour on 09/04/2019. Slightly hazy orange color with a medium thin white head that burns away quickly to a film. Short strings of lace. Aroma of grassy hops, citrus and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of mild grassy hops, citrus and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruit and hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Update 2025: Had this again by mistake, this year it has a slight tart attitude about it. Has less IPA bitterness and a little more co2. Makes it much more acceptable to my palate. It really doesn't even come across like an IPA, probably an APA would be ore like it. Old rating was 3.3 - old rate: $2 orange can as pictured. First thought? Who wants that terribly bitter feel without big ABV? Taste is big bitter rubber veggie cabbage. Some decent co2 if you search for it. Yea, there you have; another rude ass on style bitter IPA, must be a gahzillion out there and they all taste the same; nasty. Continuing session, radel radly runs right over the roughnecks. Terribly on style for a light IPA, almost APA.

Can from chalet premier, nice place. Smell is a little piney and yeasty. Pale yellow with a big foaming head. Taste is almost IPA but it aint and fer sure its more than a golden blond should be, yes a rather strong bitter APA if you ask me. Its even a little volatile on the palate after each swig. Difficult and rather astringent for a Goldie, and for a blond? Would never pass scrutiny. Needs more manners.

Smell like mild fresh pine needles. Quite bitter and impressive on the palate. So bitter. Lasting bitter green grapefruit chewing on rind hops. Magically majestic monster. One kick ass ale. If you like IPA, this one's fer you; bucket list this rare beer and forget my numbers. Terribly and nastily on bitter hops IPA style. Will my palate ever change? Hey, BTW, its hazy yellow as expected. Taste is so rude it makes you forget about any thirst you had.
