5 oz. draft. Flavor has sharp pine, caramel and herb finish. Old school IPA!

Ridiculously hazy golden and peach coloured body with a bright glowing orange tint and a very small, single centimetre tall off-white head that fades fast. Aroma of crisp grain, light earth, pungent grassy and floral hops with a little bit of bitterness and some very subdued sweetness from fruits. Medium-bodied; Deep malty flavours at first with a lot of grain and earthy malt, but also some of the biscuit and yeast components come through towards the end, with a good deal of bitterness, most from the malt and not the hops with a light grapefruit and citrus vibe towards the end. Aftertaste shows the deeply bitter flavours with a good deal of alcohol and funk, along with a grapefruity and resinous hop finish and some soft sugars toards the very end that offer up some light complexity after all. Overall, still a fairly underwhelming beer and not-so-great for the style, but nice to try as a non-Pennsylvanian, but definitely not worth grabbing if you are from out-of-town, like me, I wish I would have grabbed something different. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from The Beer Store in Franklin Mills (Philadelphia), Pennsylvania on 05-October-2019 for US$5,99 sampled at home in Washington on 13-January-2020.

Funky, gritty. Artwork is better than the beer.
