Can from Total Wine poured into glass at Lake Kabetogama. Solid head, golden, nice flavor but a bit of that cat-pee hop finish.

16oz can, no date.
amber-orange, sticky lace, vegetal dank citrus all fill the nose, with a wave of sticky honey malt goop splashing the stanky hop aromas all up around and into yo' mouf hole, finishing sticky and with a lingering bitterness
India Pale Ale beir made for a Cross-Atlantic journey

Pretty hazy orange color. Citrus smell and initial taste...taste becomes bitter at end... a little too bitter for my preference.
Really good beer, not my absolute favorite though.

A 16 oz can filled on 7/14 poured into an imperial pint glass.
A-3 fingers of sticky pure white foam with some nice staying power. A cloudy golden.
S-I get a lot of citra hops out of here. That's a good thing. Aromas of passionfruit and grapefruit. Aromatic. Dank.
T-The taste follows the aroma. Hoppy. Grapefruit, a touch of pine. Some tropical fruit. A fairly significant malt presence. Biscuity. My biggest complaint is that there is a moderate bitterness and it is a bit astringent and definitely drying.
M-Moderate to high carbonation. Nice body. Substantial linger and bitter bite. Dry.
O-Like the dank, a little high on the stank (bitter aftertaste). A solid ipa that doesn't skimp on malt or hops. Solid brew.
