12 oz. bottle. Bottled on 8/27/12.

Clear, brilliant burnt copper with golden edges. Good inch of creamy, moderately dense, light beige head. Nice lacing. Some cookie and fruit malt hide beneath big citrus, pine, and resin hops.

Herbal hop bitterness and toasted malts up front. Hop bitterness becomes citrusier and spicy. Cookie, caramel, and biscuit malt sweetness fills out the palate. Pitchy, sappy bitterness into the finish. Lingering fruity sweetness and piny, resinous hops. Medium bodied, with a creamy feel. Very nicely done. The best IPA brewed in Utah? Maybe.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

12 oz can, best by 7/22/2013. Not sure when it's bottled, but since that's over 2 months away, I assume it's pretty fresh.

A: Nice fluffy white head that dissipates quickly. Clear copper body. Great lacing. Looks good.

S: Bright citrusy hops, wet cereal malt. Nice balance.

T: Mellow hop bite on the front, nice malt backbone at the end.

M: Thin for the style, a little light on the carbonation.

O: Solid IPA. Love the cans. Will buy this more if it's on sale.

Bottle > Sensory Pilsner glass

A - Pours a nice clear gold, two finger head, good lacing
S - Some real nice pineapple aromas coming from this, as well as some floral, earthy, and a rhubarb type malty mix.
T - Things tone down a bit here and its mostly pine you get from the hops and some sweet dried fruit and sweet malt.
M - And things get odd here, it has a largely metallic aftertaste, and is very chewy.
O - Starts out nice, but goes downhill, but that being said, its still a decent IPA, though my qualms with it make me not want to get it again.
