Can. This was a weak attempt at an IPA. With so many on the market today you would think brewers would expand there horizons.

Basic IPA, pine and grapefruit and a little caramel, a throwback to a simpler time, which, to be honest, is ok. Not something I’d buy, but not bad for rummaging around in the back of my dad’s fridge.

Refrigerated 12 oz can poured into weizen glass. Clear golden with big white head. Aroma is wheat esters, medium body, lower carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is wheat esters and herbal hops.

Can pour from Hop City, Krog St. Atlanta. It's a hazy yellow-gold with nice sparkle, thin cap of off-white head with poor retention and trace lacing. Aroma is moderately strong citrus, pine and sweet malts, as advertised. Taste is balance of biscuit malt and bitter pine with milder citrus. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation and almost exclusively bitter finish. Overall, as advertised. More bitter than I'd like and dominates the flavor.

Beer #6 (of 19) of my 9000th Beer Celebration [9 beers on both sides of #9000th itself]. Deep dark brown coloured body with a very thin off-white head that fades pretty quickly and just leaves a thin layer on top after a few seconds. Aroma of alcohol, molasses, earth, nuts, chocolate and a hint of coffee with a big scent of spice and canella here with some bitterness derived from the malt with some alcohol and pitted fruits picked up in the nose as well. Medium-bodied; Fairly strong and pungent earthy and nutty malts dominate up front with a big bitter bite from the caramelised sugars and toffee notes along with some alcohol, earth, grain and oatmeal flavours and finishing with the drier, slightly spicier canella and allspice flavours that really shine through at the end. Aftertaste is rich with a lot of caramelised sugars, toffee, earth, grain and dry components with a lot of bitterness, mainly from the malts, but also from some of the molasses and pitted fruits with a raisin-like finish and a kick of oats and chocolate too. Overall, a fairly nice beer with a ton of earthier components, a lot of malt and grains with caramelised sugars, molasses and even some figgy notes, but showing some yeast and alcohol at the tail end, making this complex and rich but still smooth-ish, especially for the alcohol content, but that's primarily due to age, most likely. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 28-December-2017 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington for Beer #6 (of 19) of my 9000th beer celebration [9 beers on both sides of #9000th itself].
