Clear orange, light amber and bronze coloured body with a very thin off-white head that fades very quickly and only tops off at one centimetre tall maximum. Aroma of citrus, pine, grass, resin and a dose of alcohol, with some deeper malts noticeable in the nose as well. Medium-bodied; Rich resinous and pineapple flavours dominate the taste with a syrupy and sticky quality at first, then filling up with the malt, adding some dry and more pungent medicinal and astringent flavours, all ending with a bit more tropical notes that show sugars, all with the hop bitterness on the end. Aftertaste is relatively deep, with some of the medicinal notes still playing out, with hop bitterness and alcohol around, along with noticeable fruit-based sweetness. Overall, a fairly nice Imperial-ish IPA that is almost missing a lot of complexity and deep profiles, but is relatively easy-drinking (at least for the ABV) while still being dank and hoppy. Nice to try super fresh, but not worth grabbing, with so many other options around! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Costco in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 22-May-2020 for US$2,69 sampled at my house here in Washington on the same day, on 22-May-2020.

16 fl oz can, via Beer52. Drank at home on 23rd May 2020 during the virus Lock In. No real head on my pinkish bodied pour. Floral aroma with a light orange leaning. Taste is fruity, again with an orange leaning to the fore; different and enjoyable.

Beautiful pink and slightly orange coloured body, all perfectly clear, with a thinnish, one to two centimetre tall off-white frothy head that fades very fast. Aroma of grass, pine, flowers, soap, hay and a touch of sugars from the fruit. Medium-bodied; Relatively pungent hop flavours at first with some good citrus and tangerine notes along with a dash of pepper noticeable, coupled with a very subtle amount of hay and grass, but enough to make the palate dry and floral. Aftertaste shows a fairly nice balance of hops and malt, with the hops bitter and pungent up front, then fading fast, but the malt is fairly smooth and soft and making this drink more of a plain IPA than anything around 8,0 per cent. Overall, a smooth-ish IPA that borders on Imperial status, and has a noticeable tangerine bite, but no floral or tart hibiscus notes at all, aside from the slightly pink colour. Nice to try, especially fresh and a good beer, but not worth chasing after! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 28-April-2020 for US$4,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 08-May-2020.

Thin tight white head left a spotty cover on a pale amber coloured still body. Sweet fruit & malt aroma. Medium bodied, smooth on the front with tingle on the clean back. Sweet, confectionery, hoppy, bubble gum & malt backbone with long bitter finish. Standard.

Abstract artwork on $2 can. Pour is clear yellow with a foamy head. Nose is mild hop perfume. Taste is terribly on style IPA with a little volatile kick to it. Soapy nasty mouthcoating alky laced turpentine with some full bodied kick in the face. Yes very on style for a clean IPA. heheheh. At least there is a hint of co2 in this one.

Yes, a tad stringent bitter in the from then in the middle I think it starts to grow on you and you think yer getting used to it. Tight bitter. finish too, Leaves a bitter taste in your mouth for a while at the end of the session.

Black $2 can can from vintage. Big bitter bite, almost astringent. Terribly on style flavor, just one big nasty. The eye is cloudy pale. The nose is mild hop anything, just mild. Taste is like I said, big nasty on style IPA, what else can be said? There are a million of them out there. Mouth coating bitter pine sap mixed with spruce tar all mixed together in a blender with green grapefruit rinds, there you have it.
