16 fl oz pull-tab can nabbed at Orange Street Food Mart in Missoula, MT, USA.
5.8% ABV. Hopped with Chinook.
Subtle grapefruit and not so subtle citrus. Hints of pine. A coating tasty brew that gets more out of Chinook hops than any hoppy ale I've tried in recent memory.
For my money, one of Montana's best beers.

Poured from 12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: medium golden hue with a light haze and a very strong effervescence. Head poured a hand's worth of gargantuan, inconvenient foam; ecru in color and creamy in consistency. Annoying, but mostly pretty attractive.
Smell: malt has a big caramel character; it reminds me of a copper ale. Hops are floral and a little fruity; it's almost soapy in character (but in kind of a good way) -- reminds me of Canadian floral gum candy. Nice, although the intensity is a bit light.
Taste: caramelly, floral, fruity and quite sweet. Bitterness is relatively low for the style, but it's not a bad beer. Perhaps a bit sweet for my taste, but I kind of like the direction the brewers took here.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a big carbonation and a great big creaminess. I would have thought this beer gave up all its CO2 with that giant head, but no -- plenty left for a great texture.
Overall: I really want to love this beer, but it is a bit too sweet and candylike for me. That said, it's definitely worth a try if you come across it (and don't mind weird, gumdrop-flavored pale ales).
