too bitter for me, guess this one matches intended ipa style but too west coast and malty for my palate. DN does a good job with other styles, give the Vienna a shot, its good.

At 8%, it is not as boozy as you would expect...
...Though you do feel it later. Anyway, I found it not to be very nose-worthy (unlike what the can says), and the mouthfeel was super smooth and crisp all at once, making it a decent little IPA. Maybe not one of the most memorable ones, but it was still decent in the end.

12 ounce can poured into a tulip glass. Canned 1/7/21.
L---Hazy, medium Amber color. Frothy white head faded down to a ring, but left really nice lacing.
S---Pine, orange, lemon.
T---Pine, lemon & orange, just like the nose.
F---Medium bodied. Good carbonation. Fairly high ABV isn't noticeable.
O---A tasty IPA. Nothing fancy, just a classic IPA.

(12 oz can, 08/14/19; purchased single off shelf... poured into shaker)
L: mostly-clear, amber liquid, bit of sediment in last oz or two; tall, loose sponge of off-white foam... fine speckled sediment settles in suspension; random small splotches of lace
S: grapefruit hop punch atop a grainy, lightly toasty-caramel malt base; mild pithy tone slowly emerges... maybe a faint spicy booze (likely bolstered by hops), but the 8% smells well hidden
T: grapefruit and sweetish cereal malt all day; bit of a sultana dried fruit note in the finish... second sip shows some grassy, floral, and mango notes... much of the same of all this as it goes; muddled, but solid overall intensity... notable cut of dryness in the aftertaste; subtle phenolic spice softly humming, peppery note arrives very late
F: relatively light, taut body; subtle residual silkiness... as suggested, stealth booze, relatively little warmth... crazy easy drinking
O: serviceable, standard, West Coast-type IPA... would have again (preferably on draft) with a spicy chicken sandwich or something in that spicy realm, but really don't feel any urge to pick up a sixer - fine, but not a standout (1504)
