Poured a pint canned 14 weeks ago into a Speigelau IPA glass. Very fashionable can graphics, with canning date nicely printed on bottom. Light whitish yellow-orange hazy color holding very fine-bubble foam in an extremely persistent head. Excellent lacing on the way down. Smelled of yeast and malt, did not feature the dry hopped centennial enough. Taste, too, lacks hops bite. Carbonation and mouth feel excellent. This may be an IPA for folks who dislike bitterness; I'd guess it might rate 30 IBU if I had a way of measuring. I like Middle Ages' ImPaled Ale better.

On tap at the brewery. Pours deep golden with fluffy white. Aroma is of piney hops, ripe fruit and bready malt. Body is medium and tangy. Taste is similar to aroma. Finish is long and dry. OK brew.

This beer pours a very hazy honey golden orange with a two finger, dense, foamy white head. Retention is excellent as a one finger cap lasted just about the duration of the beer and there are many thin whispy spots of lacing left all over the glass.
Smell is very subtle and lacking a bit. Juicy grapefruit as well as some pithy bitterness, a touch of pine and pale malts are all there, but you really have to work to find them.
Taste is similar albeit a bit more flavorful. The juicy citrus is up front, but it is washed away mod sip by the piney and pithy bitterness.
Feel is light, thin and lacking a bit of carbonation. I will say that it is very easy drinking though.
Overall this beer is just ok. It has the potential to be really good, but needs some revamping. As for Middle Ages' foray into American style IPAs, I definitely prefer Late Knight to this one.
