Pours a golden crystal clear. This isn't a pale base malt affair. It's got a touch of pigment to it. A true golden. Floral aroma. The hop presence is floral with some orange peel for the most part with a little bit of a nibble of more intense floral on the finish. Not quite green onion in that it's sweet, but a contrast to the overall florality. It's light and a nice drinker.

I like this. Crisp, hoppy, citrusy, and slightly bitter. Easy sipper and really tasty. Thanks to @larryv for this.

12 oz can. Pours orange with tall, long lasting, fluffy white head and nice lacing. Aroma is of citrusy hops, bready malt and tropical fruit. Body is medium and crisp. Herbal, piney hops dominate the palate with bready malt and tropical fruit in the background. Finish is long and dry. Tasty brew.

Canning date????

A - Medium to dark orange gold pour with thick, sticky, white lacing.

S - Sweet malt aroma along with citrus and sticky floral. Overall aroma smells a little stale and muted.

T - Sticky floral and citrus from start to finish with some sweet malt up front. Finishes with nice lingering floral bitterness with some sticky pine poking through at the very end.

M - Big medium body with soft carbonation.

O - The nose falls a little short and the best part of this beer is the lingering piney citrus bitterness. I wish they would date stamp their cans.

Had a couple of these last night.....cloudy, amber on the pour, with slight head and some lace. Aroma is fruity and pine. Taste is pleasantly fruity with slight piney bitterness, with a clean crisp finish. An enjoyable brew overall.

Served from a 12 oz (355 ml) can at The Tap House in Tuckahoe, NY, into a 12 oz schooner glass.
A: Pours a cloudy, amber color with no more than half finger, white head formation with rim retention, but rings of foamy lacing.
S: Aromas of caramel, apricot, and light pine mix initially with an orangy finish.
T: Semisweet. Palate flavors largely favor the nose with a Cointreau finish. Slightly peppery bitterness is light leading to a clean, refreshing finish.
M: Light to medium bodied with strong persistent carbonation.
O: Really enjoyable. A relatively light, fruity IPA that would go well by itself or with nearly anything.

Poured from the can. I get it fresh from the brewery.
A classic American IPA, bitter and hoppy. Balanced flavors of floral, citrus peel hops and grainy malts with a touch of light caramel.
A solid beer that has been around for years and will surely be on hand for many more.
