Yellow can for 2 bucks at the vintage estate. I thought fer sher I tasted this already, I guess it was that other sweetwater west coast IPA. Pour is clear but a little darker than pale, something like an orange tinted pale. The head is gigantic, even with a gentle pour the head takes up most of the glass and settles to a craggy half glass after a few minutes. Each pour does the same, visually quite lively. The nose is muted hop perfume, can barely smell it. First taste is difficult; definitely a terribly on style IPA fer sher. Whew, long sticky near astringent bitter bite that does not fade. Blah. For a lager lover this stuff is gaudy gawky gloomy gross grotesque glib glum and grievous. Will somebody please give me an ice cold macro pale light lager to wash this down with as a chaser? hehehehh. I guess my girlie pale lager loven palate will never mature enough to enjoy the gahzillion different IPA out there; they all practically taste the same: Appallingly horrifying. wink wink. At least it does have a decent level of carbonation that tries to keep my mind off the bitter finish.

Hazy yellow-gold color with a medium frothy white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Citrus, herbal hop and malt in the nose. Light to medium body with flavors of grapefruit, herbal hops and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Clear pale golden pour with a thin white head that burns away quickly to a sparse outer ring. Spotty lace. Aroma of malt, corn and fruit. Light-bodied with flavors of grainy malt, corn and fruit, plus a hint of grassy hop. The finish is clean and malty with a fruity aftertaste. Average overall.
