16oz can received from @beertunes stamped CANNED STRONG 4/14/20 (about 6 weeks ago) poured into a Spiegelau IPA glass at fridge temp 6.3% ABV. The beer pours mostly bright tangerine orange in color with nearly white head. The head recedes to a thin ring and island with plenty of carbonation bubbling up from below. Very little retention & no lacing. The aroma is citrus and pine in a relatively mild presence. The taste is lemon, lime & bitter orange all layered atop of a simple pale malt (probably 2-row) bill that adds little in terms of flavor. Moderate bitterness, not in the sense that it's very bitter, but in the sense that there is no sweetness to offset the bittering charge. Mouthfeel is thin bodied with just above average carbonation and a very dry finish. Overall, ok to good.

16oz can (of course) poured into 14oz teku. Poured a clean, clear bright golden-yellow color with about 1/2 inch of white head that quickly dissipated and left no lacing.

The aroma had light grains and hops that were piney and lightly citrusy.

Very similar on the tongue, with a touch of bitterness on the finish.

The body was light and crisp, and had a dry finish.

Drinkability was pretty good, you could easily knock back a couple.

Overall, a solid beer. Not sure what makes it "Italian-American", but it's worth a shot if you see it.
