12oz can. Poured out a clear, golden color with a good-sized head of white foam. It smelled of malty sweetness with a touch a citrus. Very malty and overly sweet with a strong bitterness.

12oz can, sample from the brewery.
Good clarity, more than enough froth to satisfy me. Muddled orange peel in the nose and on the palate from the hops, some fruity esters as well. Bitterness is there, at a balanced level but a little bit of harshness. Not as drinkable as expected, needs to be cleaned up a bit but still a decent sip.

Bought the Beer on a whim since it is relatively local. Beer poured a nice, light copper and pretty clear. Buttery aroma was a dead giveaway to the diacetyl that made up the majority of the flavor. Mouthfeel was just like the aroma and taste; very diacetyl in nature.
I cannot recommend this beer. Hopefully I just had a bad batch, but it will be a long time until I try this beer again.

One of the best, if not the best, IPAs I've had. I think this is best classified as an American pale ale (APA), but who cares. Give this one a try if you like hell of a nice well-balanced IPA/APA.
I definitely recommend having a taste of this one :)
