Guess no one is buying Sloop, as I purchased this from Half Time in the last month. It's a shame, as I really enjoy their IPAs. Hopefully the *cringe* 7 months doesn't hurt this one too much.
The hops have definitely dulled, with nothing explosive or big and juicy. Rather, yeast is apparent, with spice and grapefruit next to it. Clean, with biscuity, crackery malts gently supporting.
Light and with lots of cracker malt in place of substantial honey or white bread-like malt giving a very light body, to its detriment. It's only 5.3%, but it seems like either the yeast has eaten through all of the body, or this was just too light to begin with. A shame because, even at 7 months, the hops are expressive and well-done. Berries, Mosaic-like spice, slight wood and citrus give good complexity. Just extremely lacking in malt depth. Thankfully, it's very low in bitterness, so it still remains drinkable, just unsatisfying from such a thin texture.
