12oz can. Poured a bright orange color with a medium sized white head, slight haze to it. Aroma was big herbal hops, sweet malts. Some biscuit. Might be a bit old, as the hops were a bit muted from what I expected it to be.

Pretty nice beer. I like this one, and great to have a good bitter IPA with body. Some orange peel and fresh tangerine. Grapefruit. Quite fresh, and one of the better Mandarina Bavaria showings I've tried. Golden pour with decent head. Bitter finish.
