From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Grassy and dank hop, oniony hop, bit weedy, citrus. Moderate bitter, dry finish. Body is medium. Bit too dank and weedy for my taste.

16 oz can. Aroma Is bold tangerine, and Clementine! Citra hops provide the Clementine and tangerine flavors with comet providing a very mild floral bouquet toward the finish. That floral gives a balance to the fruit. Plenty of juicy character. This is pretty damn good!

Can in a trade tfontana. Roast shows a nice bolder character. Some chocolate and mild char. Shows a underlying dark fruit character in the middle of the sip. Caramel. Good amount of flavor for the 5.5%. Drinks smooth.

Can from CBC Westford. Opaque, dark yellow with a few nasty floaties, tons of sparkle, full head with excellent retention and nice lacing. Aroma is strong grape. Taste is strong musty grape, lesser candied fruit. Frothy texture, average carbonation, dry, crisp finish as taste. Curiously different than other raters. But, good strength and delicious just the same.

Can shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Hazy, bright yellow with nice sparkle, decent head and ring of soapy lacing. Aroma is citrus, stone fruit and mild pine. Taste is citrusy, dank, mild pine, cracker. Smooth texture, average carbonation, crackery, mildly bitter finish. Aroma is not classic West Coast IPA (and is lovely) but flavor is more traditional and not super strong. OK.

Can shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Hazy amber-reddish hue with light sparkle, thin head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is pine and florals with mild earthy fruit. Initial piney bitter and malts, late fruit. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and dry, crisp, lightly bitter finish. It accomplishes what it sets out to do but, aside from the cool factor of the red from the beets, a dry, West Coast IPA that is piney and bitter. Meh.

16 oz. can shared by tfontana, thanks Tom! Aroma has a big floral character, mild fruit. Flavor has the soft fruit under a moderate floral note. Not much bitterness but the dead flowers balance the sweet malt and peach like nuances.
This is quite delicious. Smooth, balanced, juicy, nice hop flavor, no bitterness.
