Muddy tan...looks like shit. Aroma is grapefruit, flowers and diacetyl. Taste is grapefruit and way too much yeast. This stuff is just too green.

750ml corked and caged bottle purchased to-go from the downtown location - pours a hazy amber, with a thick, well-sustained head - a lot of pine and grapefruit in the nose, with substantial caramel character, some cherry, strawberry - very low carbonation despite the foamy head (almost feels like cask ale in the mouth) - seems on the higher end abv-wise for a "regular" ipa (I’m guessing around 7 or 7.5%) - tastes a little bit aged/oxidized - earth hop character is present, but starting to fade with age - fairly malty, with some orange and mango accenting the sweetness - finishes spicy, with light lingering sweetness - I kinda like this - I wonder what it’s like fresh. (note - I’ve consumed about half the bottle at this point, and judging by the way I feel, this beer might be higher than 7.5)
