12 oz can purchased at Antler liquor in Frisco, Colorado. Pour is a copper brownish ruby, slightly hazed, with a two inch tan head. The head falls with decent lacing. The aroma is hazelnut malt, a bit roasty, along with some milder pine and earthy hops. The taste has the slightly sweet hazelnut malt up front, mixed along with an earthy, sort of floral pine hop. There is a mild twinge of vegetal present, which detracted. The palate is medium bodied, pretty full for an IPA, though it is pretty dry which makes it easy to drink. Overall, decent IPA - not sure how fresh this was.

Can - clear gold pour - fairly basic nose and light noble hop, pale malt sweetness - not enough happening in the aroma to cover up the obvious diacetyl - slick texture but light body - taste is initially of peanut skins and copper - metallic character persists throughout, but some semi-dry, clean maltiness and a moderate saaz bite make things a little more bearable - a bit of tangy lemon - peanut skin returns in the finish - lingering metallic character - I have to say that I kind of expected this from this brewery, but still I am disappoint.

12oz can. Murky, clearly unfiltered orange-tan-yellow. Steady thin head. Earthy APA aroma. Medium bodied, middle of the road offering. Certainly rescued by the creamy yeast tones, the malt and hop profiles are pretty bland. Light soapiness, some biscuity golden malt tones. Kind of works as an English Bitter. Not that impressive, but drinkable. 2015 and this is pretty different. Filtered for one. Grassy, dry, fairly respectable. Kind of like a Session IPA in flavor. Not so bad, not so good.

Can from Supermarket Liquors in Fort Collins, CO. Pours amber gold with a foamy off-white head. Light floral aroma. Medium body/foamy carb. Flavor is floral/citrus over light caramel. Actually tasty, and not so harshly roast malt as many APAs.

Tap at Freshcraft - something in this beer tastes like fucking seaweed - you know that earthy character you get from a sushi roll when the seaweed flavor mingles with the sesame seeds? - it tastes like that, and it is really off-putting - every beer I have from this brewer seems to have one fatal flaw, and I guess that is this beer’s - there are some nice qualities - a moderate hop bitterness is balanced quite well with a rich, nutty malt character - a bit of brown sugar and caramel - but that earthy seaweed quality is impossible to ignore - weird.
