Pale and Vienna malts along with 9 different US hop varieties
We took the traditional IPA, originally shipped from England to India in the 1700′s, and made it bolder and more flavorful—American Style. We added new varieties of highly aromatic American hops to create a distinctive bitterness profile and an incredible hop character.

Piney hops. Bitter with a bit of citrus and some sweet malt. Smooth and crisp. Very drinkable—you may want to slow yourself down.
Excellent example of what I suppose you’d call a traditional, American-style IPA.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours orange red with a fluffy white head. Smells of citrus and piney hops, very inviting. Tastes of piney, earthy, and citrus hops, like a traditional West Coast IPA. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

Served up in a pint. Sparky and sting notes of pine and grapefruit. Taste is chewy and strongly fresh and bitter with a thick middle and a heavy bitter finish. Very good.

Poured from a 12oz can
On the pour, 3 fingers of white, well supported head were present that forms nice damage. Body is a deep deep gold with super fine carbonation rising up.
Aroma is super bright and happy with an overhanging darkness. Bright, floral, fruity, and dank, with a sweet malt. Not the most balanced.
Flavor is more balanced than the aroma, and the malt comes off as less sweet. There is a piney and slightly citrus hop note up front that slowly builds in bitterness and darkness. Solid slightly sweet, and bread malt backbone. Some herbal hops are present as well I realized.
Feel is very full, and verging on heavy. The malt is mouthcoating and the hops are too. Not overwhelming but very full with a slight hint of alcohol.
Overall this is pretty good, but I'd argue not quite world class. Could be crispier and the hops could have a more focused flavor. Probably best to go into this expecting an imperial English IPA, because this has some English hop vibes as well.

From Pilgrim’s Market in CdA, Idaho - 12 ounce can (I really wish 12 ounces was still standard packaging).
Pours a slightly chill hazed bright golden with two plus fingers of foamy white head. Clear golden as warms.
Nose of citrus, mango and bit of bready malt - as warms bursts with the mango and over ripe orange; piney with floral notes.
Tastes initially of sweet bready malt, tropical fruit and ripe orange. Piney and herbal bitterness follow with hints of grapefruit and resin at the back of the palate.
Medium mouthfeel, nicely carbonated with a smooth drying bitter finish.

12oz can. Date stamp on bottom lip looks to be '09/27/23', but is more likely '03/27/23' because of the hour:minute stamp included.
Clear, pale gold colored body. One thick finger of white head, and this turns into a thin cap and high ring. Leaves behind some wide rings of lacing.
Aroma of citrus and pine. Pine, grapefruit, and resin bitterness.
Taste follows the nose, with orange, grapefruit, and pineapple joined by pine resin bitterness. A little sweet but with a bitter tail end. Very good toasted malt base.
Medium mouth feel, with a touch of nectar. Clean and drying finish. Some tongue numbing. Excellent carbonation.
Classic West Coast IPA, with enough juice to be thirst quenching.
