Quite hazy golden and light peach coloured body with a pretty small, two centimetre tall pure white head that fades slowly. Aroma of nice fresh whole oranges with a dash of tangerines and even some mangoes here, but also some of the fresh wheat and a light dose of caster sugar towards the end. Medium-bodied; Pretty assertive wheat and easy-drinking malts here with a light dose of sweetness, but a lot of hoppy notes of oranges and mangoes are noticeable with a light bitterness, but more from the hops overall. Aftertaste shows some lighter wheat notes and a very easy-drinking malt backbone and some slight bitterness from the fruits, but the majority of the finish is the juicy notes from the hops with the mangoes showing strongest, then the oranges, and some light creaminess and vanilla notes exist, possibly from lactose. Overall, a nice new school IPA with a good look, but better flavour, showing a good balance of malt and hops with actual bitterness here, but a lot of flavours derived from the tropically and citrus side of things makes this quite nice. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in New York (NoMad, 28th Street), New York on 02-December-2022 for US$3,99 and canned on 17-October-2022, sampled in my hotel room here in New York, New York at Christmastime with my family on 03-December-2022.

Undated (which is an anomaly for Grimm) can, drunk 8/17/22. Heavily hazy, bright peach-apricot. Huge, well-retained, off-white head. Nectarine, melon, floral notes and very pale malts with clean yeast and a hint of pine. Sparse, crackery malts and lingering nectarine and apricot. Juicy apricot, light pine, heavy floral and melon, but low punchiness. Sweet, pale malts adding plentiful honey. Cracker, pine, vegetal and floral notes. Heavy yeast character, no bubble gum, but strong fruit, wax and such. Wish it was a bit juicier, but this is solid.

A hazed golden ipa with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light tropical fruits, pleasant. In mouth, a nice biscuit malt with resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light tropical fruits, very nice. On tap at Maxfields.
