Deep robust copper and bronze coloured body with a light hazy glow, but mostly clear here, all with a dense, two to three centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of malt, light grain, a dose of flowers and more grassy hops with some lighter citrus and perhaps a dose of resinous scents - but this is mainly about the malts as well as the grass and floral notes. Medium-bodied; Dense malty bite at first with some biscuits and grain and a lighter hoppy element that shows some curacao and full oranges along with some piney and floral notes, but this is much more malt-forward than hop. Aftertaste shows the more metallic and almost astringent with the malt showing first and then some smoother and softer, fruitier hops hit towards the end - nice and robust/balanced. Overall, an enjoyable IPA, but definitely not anything special nor worth searching for - this is respectable, but perhaps a bit too malt-centric for me, and definitely not a hazy IPA. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 19-April-2019 for US$3,32 sampled at home in Washington on 29-June-2019.
