A sip brings a simple but powerful beverage that has some very nice piney hops that are cut very nicely with some malt to give a sweet sensation rather than getting all bitter from those delicious hops. The citrus is in there, too. It adds a certain acidic quality that definitely enhances the entire drink, but a sip isn't the way to drink a good beverage.
Tip-in is a mild orange with carbonation just nuzzling the tongue a bit. The middle has a bitterness and a biscuit with carbonation swirling around and burning everything in sight. The finish sends a bitter wave that is followed by lemon zest and pine hops. The experience is a good one, and the fact is that I can't even tell that this originated in a can in the first place - which is a surprise and a delight.
Bottom Line: A very nice, if unsophisticated hoppy beer.
