Picked up a 16 oz can from the Craft Beer Hop Stop 10-1-16. Canned on 09/13/16. Refrigerated since purchase.
Beer poured golden with a nice white head that is leaving lacing behind.
Nose is floral hops which are becoming more prominent as the beer warms.
Taste is floral and grapefruit forward with a nice touch of the tropics which finishes nicely over pale malt base.
Feel is light to medium bodied and lively on the palate.
Overall a pretty well brewed fruit infused brew that is worthy of a shot.

Picked up a six pack (what?! usually a 4 pack of cans) of 16 oz pop top cans. This is another IPA suggesting you drink it from the can. I took a few sips before pouring it into a Spiegelau IPA glass.
L - Clear golden IPA. Standard West coast. Looks identical to Stone IPa - leaves plenty of lacing on the glass.
S - Surprisingly tropical. Grapefruit, pineapple, mango. There's some hint of booziness, too, which is surprising: 7.5% abv is pretty high but not what a level you'd expect booziness.
T - Zesty grapefruit peel and lemon. The beer is also very resinous... but the lemon flavoring is so apparently. The taste is almost sequenced - grapefruit peel - > juicy lemon -> resinous after taste. Very much aiming to be a great west coast IPA, and it is.
F - Dry with mild carbonation. Reminds me of Sculpin a bit at this point.
O - This is a great IPA! I can't believe the price point for the six 16 oz cans that come in a neat little box. It's a bit of a sipping IPA, as there is a lot of flavor here. The flavor itself isn't overly complex, but what the beer has to offer, it delivery boldly. Great IPA.
