Another ubiquitous IPA in a can. Fresh citrus dull hop nose, some cold bread in the aroma. First taste is bitter terrible rubber liquefied soap. Strong piercing rude ass on style IPA. Probably not as thick as an double impy but fer sher its got the attitude on the buds. Difficult nasty stuff. Strong strychnine sticky stuff. Boggie biggy silly IPA all over is the word here.

Good beer, citrus mostly, and something floral or resiny. Semi-dry, clean crackery malts. Golden-orange color. I like the balance and overall drinkability - outside of the slight harshness to that resiny element of the hops, but that's not a bad thing per se.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from The City, Seabrook. Appearance is hazy (lots of fine, white particulates) orange-light brown, light sparkle, 2-finger width, off-white head with fair retention and fair soapy lacing. Aroma is fruit, dank, cracker malt. Taste is mild orange, stone fruit, caramel malt, dank late bitterness. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, lively carbonation and bittersweet finish as taste. Overall, pretty muted hope aroma and flavor; bitterness and malt character round out complexity but nothing really stands out.
