Clear golden coloured body with a tint of light amber and a super thin off-white head that fades quickly and doesn't leave anything on top. Aroma of crisp grassy and herbal hops with a light dose of grapefruit as well, with some biscuity malts noticeable as well. Medium-bodied; Pretty crisp and grassy herbal notes show at first with a heavier dose of grapefruit and lemons towards the end with noticeable bitterness here as well. Aftertaste shows some grainy and biscuity malt bite with a little bit of sweetness from caster sugar with little else aside from a dash of resinous hops, but pretty mild throughout. Overall, a decent offering with only a touch of hops, some moderate malts and no real sweetness, but a worthy IPA in a traditional sense. I sampled this sixteen ounce pint-sized can purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 30-April-2022 for US$4,19 sampled a day later at the pool in my hotel in Orlando, Florida on 01-May-2022 with my three kids and wife.

16 oz can picked up in Orlando. No can date. Golden orange appearance, thin head. Somewhat rich caramel malt front. Bold flavor, moderately aggressive hop bitter. Long lasting malt forward palate. A nice IPA that reminds me of the old school PNW brews. Tasty.

Draft sampler at the 2022 Rocky Water Brew Fest. Pours a pitch black color with a light brown head. Strong aroma of coffee grounds. The taste follows the nose. Way too much coffee flavor for me. I think the stout itself would be good, but the coffee flavor is too dominant. At least it's smooth, and the 8.2% ABV is well hidden.

16 ounce can. Amber orange pour. Huge, tight ivory head is long-lasting. Splendid lacing. Rich, citrus fruit aroma hints at orange marmalade and guava. Maltiness is dominant upfront. Citrus and pine emerge on the backend.

On tap at brewpub. Slightly hazy dark red pour. Small creamy beige head. Roasted malt aroma hints at pizza crust and red berries. Flavor is toasted malt, sweet toasted Easter bread and graham crackers. Some resiny hops on backend, though subdued. Very drinkable with good flavor.

Draft sampler at the 2021 Rocky Water Brew Fest. Clear dark gold color with an off-white head. Like other golden stouts, this also has the same ashtray-like flavor in the finish. Doesn't work.
