Bought a 12oz can at a bottle shop.
Menh.....not all experiments work. Tastier and hoppier than mass produced swill, so it's not all bad. But not a memorable ale.

12oz can purchased at the Rocket Market in Spokane. At the moment, this brewery seems to be getting “pushed” by whoever distributes it.
Poured a hazy dark amber color, with a more orange look to it when held up directly to light. Good-sized, creamy off-white head. Lots of lace.
Piney hop notes in the initial aroma. Citrus notes as well, but the piney hop scent is more forward. Dim malt aroma way in the back. Smells the way a good PNW IPA should.
Bitter, piney and citrusy hop flavor up front, with just enough malt flavor to balance. This tastes the way a well-crafted beer of the style should without any side trips.
Medium bodied, with a slightly oily, sticky mouthfeel. Again, just right for the style.
This is no revelation in terms of American IPAs, especially of the Pacific Northwest variety. Rather, it’s a well-done example of what one should expect going in. Seems like Amnesia knows what they are doing

12oz can at 41 F poured into a pilsner glass. There is no canned on or best by date that I can see.
Pour has a nice color, kind of orangey amber, and a medium head that dissipates at a medium pace. But, there's lots of floaters. Little fish food flakes drifting about in the cloudy liquid. Smell is slightly bready, faint metallic hint, orangey/citrus.
Taste is orangey up front, then very piney, with some floral and breadiness. Unfortunately, there's still a little of that metallic hint here.
Mouthfeel is a bit chalky, probably due to the excessive amount of floating stuff. Overall, I could probably forgive everything else if it wasn't for the metallic flavor.
Note: I gave up on Hale's Ales years ago because of a similar metallic flavor common to every beer I ever tasted from them, in any format, at any location, including the brewery itself. I hope Amnesia doesn't have the same problem. I hope this is just a bad batch or a bad can. I'll give them another shot.
