A little something above and beyond a traditional IPA but not over the top like some of the double and triples out there. A strong and balanced hop bitterness and aroma provide an excellent tasting experience. Our IPA & A HALF is our exclusive canned brand.

Undated 12 oz can. Aroma and taste are citrus and pithy pine with a good hit of bitterness (the advertised 87 IBUs!) and a hint of caramel malt sweetness. I enjoyed this more than I expected so maybe this can was fairly fresh, but who knows?

Poured into a shaker pint glass.
Look: Completely cloudy rusty burnt orange body under a cream colored head. Film remains on top with light lacing.
Aroma: Slight wood, mango, peach, apricot sweetness. Spicy hops on the back side.
Taste: A bit more rugged and woody up front with cedar and spicy hops before blending into a more citric middle, sans the fruits in the aroma. More light grapefruit rind than anything. Finishes sharp and bitter.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, slightly heavier but good for 7.3% ABV.
Overall: Pretty tasty, really smells good, and goes down pretty smooth for the ABV.

I find this better than most reviewers here...a bit of of an aftertaste and some unique flavor combos going on between the hops and malt... if you see it, grab it to try and enjoy

Pours a nice yellow/orange color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice one-finger thick/creamy off-white head, which leaves some sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with some citrus. The taste is hoppy, slightly malty, with some citrus. Medium body. Overall, a pretty tasty brew.

Looks fine nose is unimpressive. Taste is a mix of hard candy and bitterness. Not very good
