12 oz. can, Pkgd 11/13/18. There's a fresh, piney hop smell that sometimes evades the canned IPAs. Light nose of malt and alcohol. The head is sudsy, and leaves some legs above a hazy, brassy body. The taste is clearly big on Citra and Amarillo hops: mostly resiny, just a hint of tropical fruit, a little more orange, and a lot of bitterness. Malt is there with a little toast, but it plays a supporting role to this big ol' hop bomb. Well, I say hop bomb, but it's not totally overdone. Just done to the preferred style.
