Fairly clear amber and deeply copper glowing body with a nice, single to two centimetre tall, just off-white head. Aroma of grain, light funk, a dose of citrus, pine, grapefruit and especially floral and perfumey hop characateristics with a steady dose of malts and a light caramel and yeastie finish. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and very herbal profile at firs with a big funk and yeastie/bready finish that shows alcohol, astringent grain and punch with a deeply earthy and nutty finish that seemingly has more malt than hops, even though the style shows as an IPA, with 8,1% alcohol, this shows almost like an american strong. Overall, not the greatest beer, as this shows the malt profiles more than any hops and after the flavours are all tasted - a relatively simplistic beer. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from BeerTopia in Omaha, Nebraska on 13-February-2019 for US$9,99 sampled in my hotel room in Arlington, Virginia on 27-April-2019.

Draft at HopCat, Lincoln, clear orange in color, lasting head. Aroma is light fruit, maybe yeast.

Flavor is pretty nondescript. Maybe fruit, and a mild astringent floral bitterness. Body is on the lighter side. Weak flavor.
