"Bright citrus and tropical fruit hop aromas lead the way. A light malt foundation provides a platform for Citra, El Dorado, Belma, and Azacca tropical and citrus flavors to shine. Mellow bitterness just balances the fruity notes in the hop forward, golden-colored IPA.

12oz can from Hops & Bottles. Medium golden with small foamy head. Light citrusy aroma, oranges. Taste is also oranges, more fruit than peel. Full bodied, creamy

Look: caramel amber. This is one sweet IPA. Has the right amount of bitterness with that sugary sweetness that is ideal on a juicy IPA. Big bold flavor and a pretty malty finish

Good solid IPA at a reasonable price. Not a go-to, but definitely better than decent and wouldn’t mind having a few times per year.

Medium dark amber pour. Real juicy. As expected. Wet like splash! Strangely, aroma is more grain like. Great mouthfeel. Moderate bitterness. Hops aren’t particularly citrusy, but definitely tropical.

Quite a decent American IPA if not a tad light at 6.1% ABV.

Tried it on tap at the brewery and was hooked. One of the best juicy IPA's to date. Loved it so much, I bought a flat of it from Costco and brought it back with me to Calgary ;)

Little bit of fizzy head is really all that a forced pour creates. What bubbles up goes away pretty quickly leaving behind a rim of stark white foam and lazy occasional lacing and a thinnest of haze bubble layer. Beer itself is crystal clear and pale golden. Nose is generally tropical with a bit of pine. Taste goes two ways at once as it greets with a fresh creek water earthiness just seconds before it pops big bitter pine before both muted orange and caramel malt nudges in. The feel really goes several ways at once. First big splash is wet and refreshing but as it leaves the mouth a quick, dusty and dry take hold leaving a dank, solidly bitter aftertaste.

Poured from a 12oz can.
Well after the nice looking pour and pretty nice nose there was not much left.
This has a strange off bitter taste to it, not juicy at all ,
A big disappointment. Oh well lots more IPA's out there.

i know what they were going for here, but it just didnt quite take me there. maybe i didnt give it enough of a chance, assuring freshness, making sure it was good and cold, whatever, but it didnt impress me. i didnt see a date on the can, maybe it wasnt perfectly fresh, but i like their born and raised a lot better, which i had side by side with this. its like its trying to be two things at once, balanced with some malt and also big dry hopped and new school, but its hard to have your cake and eat it too, and this kind of gets list in between. its bitter enough in the end to at least scratch the ipa itch, but its also a little too full bodied and grainy through it to be real drinkable, and the juicy hops they tried to pump up in here is kind of lost to it. that said, the flavor of the hops is nice, i just wish it wasnt obscured by the grain so much. it just ends up being kind of generic, a hanger on, and not a real impressive can of beer overall. almost tastes like cheap citrus flavor was added in, where it gets kind of metallic at the finish, like pennies or something. i guess ill have to try this again paying a little closer to freshness, it could just be a little faded this time, but this really didnt do a whole lot for me, just sort of another one taking up space on the shelf...
