Crisp copper coloured body with a bronze glow and a bit of a peach tint, all with a nice two to three centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of crisp grain, light hoppy bitterness and a touch of a tropical fruit bite showing some pineapple and mangoes, as well as some oranges and flowers towards the end. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive grassy and floral hops with a dash of tropical fruits, light bitterness from the alpha acids and a bit more malt than expected with some biscuity notes and light grain coming through at the finish. Aftertaste is dry with some light citrus notes, a tiny bit of mangoes and pineapple notes, but more of the floral and perfumey hop characteristics that don't show too much bitterness, stacked up on top of some more substantial malts. Overall, a nice enough IPA that shows more like a plain West Coast IPA than anything else, as the tropical notes aren't too strong, but the malt hits hard for the duration. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Super One Foods in Kalispell, Montana on 26-July-2020 for US$1,67 sampled in my hotel room here in Missoula, Montana on 28-July-2020.

Very crisp and pungent copper and bronze coloured body with a nice off-white head coloured head, only one to two centimetres tall, with tons of small bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of cleanser, deep pine and citrus with a good noticeable malty bite towards the end along with a dash of sugars in the mix. Medium-bodied; Strong crisp grainy flavour through the malt along with a caramelised sugar bite at first that has some yeast and wheat notes, but a dry and crisp hop character that shows a little bit of citrus, but more of the cleanser and pine notes, especially at the end with a strong bitterness from the alpha acids. Aftertaste is rich and deep and more malty than hoppy, but showing a nice layer of sugars. Overall, a nice and enjoyable, crisp beer that has a good layer of hops on top of a pungent malt backbone and a little bit of sugar and pungency, while being full-of-flavour. I sampled this sixteen ounce pour on draught at GunSight Saloon in Columbia Falls, Montana, after visiting Glacier National Park with my family on 27-July-2020 for US$5,00.

Draft at Dillon Tap House. Dark golden, hazy, small creamy head. Light peppery, spicy aroma. Taste also centers on the peppers, with the malt and hops providing support for this thick, creamy brew.

12 oz can from SHINE. medium to dark golden, small foamy head. Hoppy aroma, caramel. Taste also features the hops up front, backed up by some sweet caramel malts, brought together into a nice medium weight body that slides over the tongue.
