A - Pours a hazy golden with a nice orange hue when held to the light. One finger of frothy head remained for a few minutes. No lacing, however head was semi present for the duration of my review, appearing lively throughout.

S - Hop dominant nose with a nice citrusy grapefruit, almost orange in aroma, as well as notes of pine. Slight malt sweetness, but mostly awash in the fruity hops. It’s more a pleasant fragrant aroma, not really a brash in your face hop aroma.

T - Matching nose very closely, flavor is a hop dominant profile with citrus and grapefruit, but more dank with a lot more pine as well as earthy hop flavors coming through. Hops shine in this beer, they aren’t crazy but taste very fresh and are ever present. As for malt there are some malt flavors adding a nice sweetness, which quickly fades into a wash of bitter in the finish that lingers for days and is very, very refreshing. There is also a nice yeast flavor towards the end that adds a nuttiness to the profile adding another layer of complexity to the flavor.

M - This is more on the thicker side of american IPAs for me, slight syrupy, slower sipping, but tons of carbonation that keeps it lively. By no means crushable, but very enjoyable to drink.

O - I love this beer, it has a very dank fresh hop profile for a beer that is always available at hannafords in a 6 pack. I think the finish is just as good as the flavor. Its nice and quenching, with a lingering hop bitterness and a nutty yeast flavor. Its very distinct and delicious. Its one of those beers I'm not going to have in a session with a few other different beers, I'm going to land on so folkin and I'm going to stay there as it is just plain satisfying.

Tasted from the can in the hotel room. Purchased at Wal-Mart South Portland. First impression is as malty as hoppy. Piney hops with a lot of bread as well. A little citrus on the finish. Bread lingures. Carbonation gives a nice mouth feel. Over all, I say this is an ok IPA.
