Can shared by Todd, thanks I think. Murky deep golden color with a smallish off white head. Big caramel maltiness with plenty of grassy earthy hop aroma and flavor with some astringency. This is 90’s era home brewed beer at best, there is nothing clean or refined about this overpriced beer.

Pours slightly hazed deep gold into a snifter. Soapy head with medium retention recedes leaving gloppy lacing. Stale caramel, soy and garlic (?!?) aromas. Hot with dirty martini, toasted nuts and caramel upfront turning to soy sauce in the medium length finish. High hopes are dashed.

Draught at Lord Hobo (bar), 7/10/15
Appearance as shown in picture, so I won’t go to in depth on that (not that I ever do, appearance being pretty unimportant). Clarity is good, some light haziness and a small off-white head that fades slowly to cover.
Floral notes initially brighten things in the nose, while a strong dose of citrus and light pine dry things out and fill out the remainder of the aroma. Some lightly sticky caramel/crystal-like malts seem pretty well-attenuated and the beer seems fairly clean. Pretty straightforward, standard IPA nose. Not lush and overflowing out of the glass, yet nor is it unpleasant in the least. Dosent overdo the pine/resin aspect, and I do appreciate the dryness. Certainly could use more complexity, but it’s fine.
Same goes for the flavor. Very dry caramel malt notes are stretched across citrus (orange rind, grapefruit) and moderate piney hop notes, tending very dry, with a light sourdough flavor coming from the interplay of malt and pine acidity. Strong bitterness with light melon and very minimal pineapple notes on the finish. Mostly clean, with a light alcohol burn. Texture is sticky and yet the carbonation is ample and tight, creating a supple enough mouthfeel. Could definitely stand to turn down the bitterness/resin (though it’s not egregious here) and up the actual hop flavor a bit. Could even benefit from a bit more maltiness.
