Thanks Russ.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: great looking glossy orange haziness with a one finger white foamy head which dissipated to leave some light messy lace
Aroma: lots of orange rind and pith blending with citrusy and grassy hoppiness; delicate clean cracker/biscuity malts
Flavor: blends the prior mentioned aromas bittersweetly and allows a keen aftertaste of citrus, orange and clean malts
Texture: between light to medium bodied; somewhat sessionable; semi-dry with citrusy brisk harshness in the finish
Overall: pretty nicely done NEIPA worthy of coming back to.

Can to tulip. Thanks Russ.
Appearance: a ruddy bronze color with a two finger white foamy head, delicate dissipation which left mild lacing
Aroma: tobacco leaf, orange marmalade, citrusy character, sweet grass, lemon puree', tangerine then tries to balance with some caramel malt
Flavor: previously noted aromas wrap up bittersweet, mild citrusy aftertaste with caramel malts
Texture: medium bodied, good as a sipper, clean citrusy/malty finish
Overall: good DIPA, I'd come back to if given the chance.

OKC has a number of really fine breweries. Roughtail is one. I have a 12 oz can of City IPA from Mr. T's locally to try out, there is a snifter in place. And I have a large recommendation to make, handle the can very gently before opening. The view is a mostly transparent, gold liquid with a slender white skim. I smell hops primarily and some citrus. The taste gathers much more attention. Grapefruit, white bread, lemon cough drops, malt, a bit of sweetness and a decent resin background. There's a nice depth for a straight- up west coast style IPA. Dry and tasty, not bad.

I obtained this severely out of date 16 oz can at an OKC liquor store, should have checked the stamp before I left the premises. The test glass will be one of my tulip glasses, this one from a Ft. Worth brewery. Dark orange-gold in color with a moderate cover of icy white foam. The scent begins with tropical notes but there is a definite hops presence and some woodiness. The taste is undoubtedly NE style oriented but there's some nice traditional notes to offset. I get honeydew, cedar, a touch of pineapple, cantaloupe, malt, cane syrup, some dankness and mowed grass. Quite the substantial sensation. A small bitterness at the end. It all adds up to something rather decent from a brewery I appreciate.

Half pint at Grrrowlers. Clear, rich, orange gold, active pour. Grassy, unripe strawberry nose, lemon rind punch. More mellow, bittersweet green strawberry than lemon over a yeasty base. Slight acid but not enough gusto to really be lemonade. Refreshing but far too incomplete.
