Served from the can in a Lagunitas mason jar.
Dig the new cans, CBC! Here's hoping the beer matches... It pours a clear amber-copper topped by a finger of off-white foam. The nose comprises orange zest, light caramel, dank greens (tending toward moss and the like), and a dash or two of powdered sugar. The taste holds notes of bitter greens, mild caramel in the background, green grape skins, and a vague notion of miscellaneous fruit rinds. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation, a watery feel, and an ironically drying feel. Overall, the contents do not match their classy outer designs. This IPA is both too much and too little, all in the wrong places. Boo.
