look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

Poured from a 12oz can into a dfh snifter

A: pours a hazy slightly burnt orange amber with 1/2 a finger if off white head that leavs some very nice lacing... Nice looking beer.

S: nice amount if hops nice balance of pine, and citrusy grapefruit and some light tropical fruit hop notes, lightly grainy caramel malt backbone. Touch of grassy hop aroma, nice.

T: nice juicy citrus grapefruit and resiny pone notes, balanced with lightly toasted grain and caramel notes, a decent amount if bitterness, very nicley rounded and great hop flavor.... A nice hop forward pale ale.

M: nice full bodied flavor and awesome drinkability, great for the abv, nice and dry finish with a slightly bitter piney resin aftertaste.

O: this is a damn good pale ale, pretty expensive at 18.50 per 6pk , and seeing as this one was brewed state side I'm a little confused why this is so expensive, but that is the only complaint I had, and the beer was good enough that i will have no problem picking up another fresh 6pk.

3/5  rDev -20%
look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

Poured into a pint glass.

Appearance
Amber with 3 fingers fluffy head. Moderate carbonation and great retention. Some yeast drops to the bottom.

Nose
Honey, grapefruit, pomegranate, caramel and gummy bears.

Taste
Honey like caramel malts, grapefruit juice, pomegranate and gummy bears. Hint of florals and lemony citrus.

Mouthfeel
Medium bodied, smooth, sticky and somewhat dry.

Overall
Rather malt forward for a Pale Ale yet retains a decent bitterness. The hops taste like they’re of the New Zealand variety, but I'm not completely sure. Rather mediocre but comes in a really neat can!

The new canned Global" Hipster for us who are hip but don't live in a hip city.Hipsters annoy me to the core but this APA was pretty damn good.Poured into a standard pint glass a deep murky burnt orange with a sticky white 1/2 finger white head atop.Alot of grapefruit and pine resin in the nose over top of a caramel biscuit malt base,a tinge of honey comes into play as well.Again sharp grapefruit hops dominate the palate with a little grass as well,the malt base is got some caramel sweetness but drys out nicely in the finish.This is a pretty damn good and hopped up pale ale.I haven't had any of the other Hipster line but will seek them out.
