16oz can served in a big snifter. 062817 is the date on the bottom. Given to me by a friend at work.

Pours hazy pale amber/orange with a medium head and medium carbonation. Smell is nice -- musty, very fruity. Deep and dank aroma.

Taste is hops, almost flat out. Little hints of mango and papaya, but mostly resin and straight up masticated hops.

Mouthfeel is a little flat, a little oily. Overall, it's interesting and good -- but you need to like hops to drink it.

 

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a very hazy golden amber with a one finger white head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, citrus hops, orange and grapefruit citrus, tropical fruit. Flavor is mildly caramel malt, orange citrus, grapefruit rind, guava. Finishes with citrus and lightly fruity hops with citrus rind. Medium bodied with light creaminess. A quite nice entry into the Storm series from Three Magnets. All these unfiltered IPAs have been full of herbal hop flavors and although this one was somewhat understated, it was well balanced and flavorful. Leans towards citrus flavors, but other tropical and mixed fruit flavors from the hop bill. Moderately, but flavorfully hopped. One of the better IPAs from this series.
