Clear amber and copper coloured body with a very rich, four centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of squash, spices, bright grassy and piney hops, some light caramel and earth and a bit of nice hop bitterness at the end. Medium-bodied; Assertive grassy and herbal hoppiness shows up front with a lot of bitterness, but the squash maltiness and pungency really kicks through and leaves the mouth wondering what went on - in a good way. Aftertaste is more bittered from the hops and pungency than showing any bit of the earth and spiciness of the squash - but that’s still there for sure. Overall, a great beer with an almost perfect balance of hops and ’IPA’ and malt and ’squash’ - this is exactly what you’d expect from a squash-based hoppy beer, and definitely worth trying if you like either or think the style sounds interesting - because it is! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Giant Food on Columbia Pike in Arlington, Virginia on 20-October-2016 for US$11,99/six pack sampled at home in Washington on 31-October-2016 on Halloween after trick-or-treating with my daughters!
