This American IPA demands attention, exploding with citrusy hop flavor and aroma from the Centennial and Cascade hops, but is balanced with some dankness from the Columbus hops and a nice malty sweetness to round it out.

12 oz can, no can date.
Hazy honey color with bright peachy hues up the sides. The head is like shaving cream, 3 fingers tall, with lots of nice skirted lace on the glass.
Aromas of sweet tangerines, pine, mango, pineapple, and caramelized brown sugar.
Flavor is brown sugar, dill, pine, burnt caramel, evergreen, and tangerine peel.
Feel is weighted, with a heavy caramel feel, kinda sticky, kinda creamy, very lush. Buzzing carbonation. Resiny, sticky finish.
Overall, very weighed down and heavy feeling for an IPA. It doesn't really ever take off.

Poured from 12-ounce can into a stemless wine glass. Poured a little too aggressively, resulting in a glass full of foam. Pretty appearance once things settled. Hazy, dark amber color, with a voluminous snow-white head that left lots of lacing as it settled to a thick cap. Malt forward on the nose and palate, with lots of caramel over notes of pine and citrus. Quite a bit of resiny bitterness that lingers on the finish, Overall, a pretty good IPA that begs to be paired with some greasy food like bratwurst or burgers. Bon appetit!

Light hazy gold color with white cap and good lacing.
Aroma of fresh yeast bread and ripe tropical fruits. I also get citrus (grapefruit) and something resinous.
Flavor on entry is hop forward joined by bready malt mid palate. Hops linger for awhile in the aftertaste with a mild citrus bitterness.
Medium texture with balancing carbonation.
Overall it's a fair stab at a hazy, citrusy, piney hop laden brew with enough malt to make a statement.
