12oz. bottle served in my Wachusett tulip nonic. Best before Sep 2011 notched on the label. Pours a translucent copper with a one inch, frothy, bone-colored head. Head settles into a soapy swirl and a tight band that coalesces around the edges. Swaths and slashes of lacing exhibit excellent retention along the walls of the glass. Nose express piny/citrusy hops on a toasted malt backbone Taste follows nose; however, less citrus and more earthy/piny/herbal hops with a bitterness that lingers between quaffs. Mouthfeel is light-medium with an assertive, almost prickly carbonation that lingers on the palate between sips and a slight acidity that lightly stimulates the salivary. All and all, a decent American IPA and I have to say, I prefer this version to the retried one. A solid offering and well worth your time if the opportunity presents.

Awful beer. Bad taste and aftertaste. Water colored. And aggressive smell

Drank from a 12 ounce can from a variety pack.
Appearance: rich honey color, big 2” head, massive lacing.
Smell: malty, subtle hops.
Taste: malty, mild hops and very smooth.
Mouth Feel: medium carbonated, medium feel, very smooth.
Very drinkable. Better than expected for a mass marketed brew. I would purchase again.

-pale amber can pour with a 2cm foam cap. Pine hops in the nose. This presents woody hop notes with some resin. It has light to moderate hop bitterness. Good enough on this hot day.

Big foamy head that stays until the end.
Nice colorful clear orange shade.
Nasty smell of apple cider vinegar.
Tastes better than it smells. A little bitter bite that size for the smell.
Very carbonated and tingly.
All in all... OK.
