16 oz can poured into tulip. No best-by date. Received in a trade with Willseph, thanks!

Pours a crystal-clear straw with 3-4 fingers of white head. Head coats the inside of the glass beautifully as it falls. Lots of carbonation bubbles.

Smell is intense! Tons of hops up front, almost to the point of overpowering my nose. I'm not good enough to pick out individual types, but I'd say it falls on the piney side of things.

Taste-wise, this could use some more malt to balance out the incredible bitterness. There's not a lot of backbone on which to hang the hops. Bitterness starts out strong, and lasts long after the final sip. If you're a serious hop-head, this would probably get bumped up to a 4-4.5, easy.

Medium-light mouthfeel with lots of carbonation. Finish is very dry.

I guess it's only 5.2% ABV, but otherwise I'm surprised this isn't considered an IPA. Even then, I prefer my pale ales with a bit more malt flavor.

A - Light golden, huge white fluffy head, patchy lacing up to high beer mark, not hazy but only semi translucent

S - flowery, grass, carmel, grain, faint citrus, earthy, wheat

T - grain, flowery, carmel, grass, earth, dirt. finish isnt bitter (3/10) nor sweet.

M - med body, not much froth, med/high viscosity, little more acidity than expected

O- Pretty dull. Honestly i feel left hanging. I keep waiting for the burst of flavor - and every sip i am let down. This flowery/grass/dirt taste is just not appealing. Aside from the look, I would not talk highly of this.
