12 oz. can:
Pours hazed orange amber with a thin head that becomes wispy. Rings of lacing stick.
The smell is piney, biscuity.
The taste of pine and biscuit with some lemongrass all balance each other to give it more of a more hop-forward APA than an IPA. Still, the pine character and biscuit blend together to give it a pleasant character.
Nice, though nothing particularly special. On the border of scores for the overall, I'll go with the higher of the scores I had in mind.
Easy to drink.

Pours a slightly hazy amber, with a finger of white head that sticks around, and leaves very mild lacing. Lots of bubbles rising. The aroma is slightly astringent, Citrus fruit (lemon, grapefruit, orange), Bread crust, caramel, and a slight sweet honey. Same goes with the flavor, and everything is pretty balanced. The carbonation is a bit low, for me; medium light body and medium dry. Solid, but needs to have that nice full carbonation on the tongue that moves the flavor around.

From the can, it pours a very clear amber with a small head, quickly dissipating to a thin layer and ring. Some citrus in the nose. The mouth follows the nose, with citrus evident and malt following. Enjoyable!

Overcarbonated pour. Smelled like citrus and bittering hops.
Less citrus in the taste, still substantial bitterness. Nothing exceptional, the aroma was the best part. Usual stuff, a little caramel, c hops, tad bit of citrus, orange and grapefruit.
