Pours a slightly cloudy dark orange. Nose is orange peel, malt and alcohol. The alcohol is better hidden in the taste, but malt is much more prominent than expected for an American IPA. Finishes dry, with a sour aftertaste.

L: Pours a hazy orange with with an off-white one-finger head.
S: Smells of tropical hops, orange peel, faint amount of malts.
T: Taste follows the nose, except that the malt/hops balance is way better in the flavor than the taste.
F: Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation, somewhat oily, somewhat warming.
O: It's a decent IPA, nothing to stand out though; Cool ass can design/name though.

Pours a golden, orangey, copper in color with a thin layer of foam atop. Some lacing as you drink. Carbonation looks average to low. Looks like a pretty standard, if perhaps more balanced IPA. Aroma hints at balance as well, with a buttery, sweet maltiness and a solid amount of citrus hops. Taste follows the nose quite well, although it ends up being a bit more hop-forward on the tongue. Earthy, tea and citrus hit up front, followed by toasty, biscuity malts towards the swallow. Finishes dry with lingering grapefruit rind on the tongue. I quite like the mouthfeel of this one. Mild, zesty carbonation with some creaminess. Perhaps a bit thin, but very drinkable. Overall I really enjoyed this one and feel it deserves a higher base score. It's not overly complex but it's nicely balanced and tasty. Cheers!

From a can stamped 2/2019. Cloudy orange color with a thin lacing of white head. Faint citrus aroma. Medium body and sticky feel. Tastes of malt and pine sap with a little bit of citrus in the background. Pretty standard IPA.

Poured out of can into glass. Minimal head and very little lacing. Look is murky orange with heavy sediment. Smell is citrusy and sweet. Taste starts as grapefruit, bitter, and finishes with sour aftertaste. It is on the dry side. I won’t buy again.

Sixer ran me $5 USD at a Total Wine in Austin, TX. No "canned on" date.
Pine. Pale malt.
Simple and shallow, but drinkable.

Nice dark gold, medium head, looks amazing. Citrus and pine dominate the nose. Balance is just right, hoppy but smooth with no annoying sweetness mucking things up.
