Can from Corti Bros. Pours clear bright gold with a large foamy white head that laced a bit. Aroma of garlic, citrus and pale malt. Med plus body. Lots of hops. Flavor is wanna be dank (or garlic?) with lots of citrus and even grapefruit zest. Lemon. Dry. Hoppy. Bitter. Unusual hop profile. Extremely tasty.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated February 4, 2020. Aroma is very citrus forward with orange, tangerine, grapefruit, lemon and tropical citrus with light cracker malt notes. Hints of alcohol and light cracker malt notes. Pours a hazy, dull, straw color with a medium large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers. Flavor has a faint sweetness with light cracker malt notes. Strong bitterness with light alcohol spice. Loads of citrus with grapefruit, lemon, tangerine, orange and other non descript citrus. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent IPA but it's too citrus forward for me. The bitterness is assertive, but it tastes more like it comes from the citrus than from the hops.
