Wise up and try something DFRNT. If you’re looking for the same old IPA then you might wanna put this one down. That's right, if you’re looking for a big, bitter, mouth drying, ridiculously overly hopped IPA get move'n. This brew is smooth and sporty and reminds us all what it was like when beers could be enjoyed for being, well, ya know..drinkable. Sit-back, socialize, meet someone new and most importantly take a second to reflect on why you're not like all the rest, here's to finding yourself.

Bottle purchased at The Cave in Redlands. Sweet cereal with faint orange way in the back. Slightly hazed copper with off-white head. A little bit of a gusher. Taste is very sweet, sticky malt. Restrained fruit. A bit of cardboard. I think this is oxidized or has some other infection. A bit of funk on he back half. Nothing really reflecting an IPA, more like a Belgian Pale where the fermentation temp was kept too low.

355 ml bottle. Pours a hazy, amber with a huge, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Tropical fruit aroma with citrus, malt and a weird banana note. Sweet tropical fruit flavour with citrus, malt and a dry, bitter, resiny, pine finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation.

22oz bomber pours with a crystal clear copper body that supports a thin off white head. The aroma offers up some fruity esters, a slice of resiny hops and some mildly roasty maltiness. The taste is similar as it starts with fruity esters and resiny pine like hops seemingly pulling in opposite directions. Right behind those notes lurks various malts that lean solidly in the direction of a pale ale malt backbone. Interesting but it could do without the sweet apparent malty fruit like esters.
