looks nice dark orange with thin head. smell is little funky. almost like this can may be infected. kind of overripe apricot and spoiled peach scents. taste is pretty bland for a big bomb of a beer and at 8.5 percent I expected the body to be a little thicker. taste is mild apricot with ending bitterness and some astringentcy. overall just meh. in a world of super hop bombs and world class pale ales this is a pass. maybe a bad can? drinkable but not a standout by any means.

Beautiful straw orange hue on this. Great nose of citrus and some notes of pine. Reminds me of a west coast DIPA through and through with a almost creamy mouthfeel that I'm really enjoying. They hop bite with waves of pine is dead on.

16 oz. can. Deep orange body with a big white head. Smells of sweet caramel malt, grape juice, a little herbal, and butter. Ugh. Tastes sweet. Buttery. Diacetyl. Orange and grape juice. But mostly diacetyl that I can’t get past. Heavy and sweet. C’mon CS, I thought we had gotten past the diacetyl.
