Undated can drunk 5/9/18.
Clear, normal, WC IPA look. Brass-blonde with a small white head showing low retention.
Smells like pine and grapefruit. Tastes like pine and grapefruit. High bitterness robs any enjoyment from me and while not every IPA needs to be NE style, I will never understand palate-fatiguing, unbalanced bitterness with no accompanying strong, supple, moderately sweet malt. This is otherwise, well-constructed, but I can't even take more than a few sips. Engaging carbonation, dry, somewhat malty, no booze. All pine and raw citrus finish.

16 oz. can. Date of 4-3-18. Thank you Chalumeaux! Aroma shows me like Caramel, Pine, honey. Flavor is 100 % old school IPA. Overall, it is brewed pretty well.
