12oz can stamped 04/10/20 (about 2 months old) poured into a Spiegelau IPA glass at fridge temp 6% ABV 40 IBU. The beer pours mostly bright medium amber in color with light khaki head. The head recedes to a thin cap and leaves a few spots of lacing. The aroma is caramel first with a touch of pine and citrus. The taste is semisweet caramel with earthy, piney hop flavor coming through before a moderately bitter finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation and a mostly dry finish. There's a little sticky hop oil in there, but it's nicely bittered and doesn't come off sweet. Overall, good IPA.

12 ounce can sent in NBS BIF #9 from beertunes. No date seen. Poured into a tulip.
Pours a reddish orange, with a pinkies worth of head. Crystal clear and rather refreshing body. Spotty lacing on the glass.
Aromas of grapefruit, lemon, grass and savory notes.
Dankness, lemon and grapefruit pith, onion. Grainy malts too.
Lighter mouthfeel but carbonated where it should be. Easy drinking.
A bit conflicted as the drinkability and mouthfeel are great but just a bit too much onion and chive that would want me to seek out again.

Poured into a snifter. Crystal-clear golden-amber color with a frothy white head. Oranges and other citrus notes on the nose. The malt is there too - bready with a bit of wheat. Crisp, citrusy bitterness balanced with bready malt. Slightly sweet. Medium bodied and carbonated. Overall very enjoyable. A touch too malty for my IPA tastes.

12oz can poured into shaker pint. Poured a clean, clear light gold color with a thin cap of white head that quickly dissipated, and left light lacing.
The aroma was fronted by citrusy hops, with a light grain/malt background.
Same on the tongue, very much a "traditional" American IPA.
The body was and crisp, with a dry finish.
Drinkability was solid. Overall, a pleasant brew, one that will only be around until the annual Seat-to-Ski race. Worth a grab if you see it.
