Imperial Pale Ale is a GirlsonBeer favorite, but I was skeptical as to what this IPA from a can.

I poured the majority of the beer in a pint glass and got a monstrous amount of foam. Maybe that is a can thing, I don’t know. From a glass this brew is quite tasty. It’s a light IPA and it’s not too malty. The hops are full-flavored but not over-powering. This is a well-balanced brew. I could drink a lot of these.

I was curious though, what it would taste like from the can, so I drank a swig of the last of the brew that didn’t quite fit in the glass. It was not pleasant. All I tasted was aluminum.

While I really did enjoy it and I will probably grab a few of these to take on our next camping trip I’m forced into, I still won’t drink it out of the can. That taste stayed with me a little, and it’s not good (Note to self: Pack 2 pint glasses with the camping stuff).
