Pours clear golden with minimal white head. Light hoppy aroma, I smell rye malt. A touch of grassiness and earthy funk. Tastes like a rye IPA, nice malt flavor, slightly bitter on the finish. Mild hop flavor, good carbonation. Overall this is an easy drinking IPA. Can lacks a canning date which doesn't allow me to determine how much the hop flavor dissappated.

Solid pale. Nice heavy mouth feel. Sweetish nose. Full, not bitter flavor.

From the can, it pours a hazy amber with a modest head, which reduces to a thin layer quickly. Lacing. Citrus in the nose, along with some maltiness. Taste is Pleasant.

Pours nice golden color with 2 finger head with good lacing.
Smells of somewhat citrus. Maltiness is more pronounced than the hops.
Lots of carmel comes through in the taste, much like the smell.
As an IPA it is not the best example, but solid beer just maybe misclassified,
