An American take on the British India Pale Ale style. Having higher alcohol and more hops helped preserve the beer when it was shipped to British Colonists in India before refrigeration.

L: Pours a clear copper-gold color with a small white head and no lacing left on the glass, prefer a bit bigger head and some lacing but it is a pretty nice looking beer.
S: Sweet citrus and tropical fruit, mixed with a fresh cut grass and some pine, smells fairly sweet.
T: Strong notes of pine, notes of grass and citrus. Not nearly as sweet as the aroma made me think. The bitterness is a little strong and needs a little more balance.
F: Creamy and medium body.
O: This is an ok IPA, but the bitterness is a little off-putting and not overly balanced.

12 oz. Can

Pours a pretty nice clean/clear dark golden orange color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger off-white head, which leaves some pretty nice thick/creamy sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, with some maltyness, nice citrus. The taste is hoppy, malty, citrusy. Medium body, ABV hidden pretty well, nice little bitter/dry finish. Overall, a nice thirst quencher.

12oz can. Poured out a clear, golden amber color with a small, off-white head of foam. It smelled of grapefruit, orange peel and toasted caramel. Sweet tropical fruit flavor with a piney bitterness and caramel finish.

12 oz can. Pours clear golden orange with a medium creamy white head that goes to a thin film that leaves some lacing.
The aroma is kind of odd fruity minty piney hops. Kind of like lysol.
The flavor is cardboardy creamy bready malt with some chemical medicinal grassy fruity hops that leaves a pretty astringent bitter finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, I didn't really care for it.
