12 oz can. Surprised it's listed here on RB as over 9%? Well, my can says 6.8% . Just asking. Nose is quite perfumy pine tar, perhaps a tad of BO in there. Pour is cloudy pale with a big foaming head, wants to run over the side of the glass. White head goes craggy as it fades. First taste is a big bold blast of bitter bullshit. Yes, terribly on style if not more. Second blast is perfumy mouth coating cloying effects. Seriously, this is a noteworthy IPA. The bitterness is not phenolic nor astringent, its just plain old enormously natured pure colossal rude ass IPA. Whew, this is leaving a major rototilling impression on my girlie pale lager preferring taste buds. HELP! I don't think I can taste anything, hope I can enjoy the flavor of my wings & pizza if I wait a while. BLAH! This shit kicked, numbed and agitated my ever loven seething taste buds and palate. Oh boy. I won't forget this one quickly.
