Can (4/6/21) pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! It's a cloudy light brown with decent sparkle, finger-plus width off-white foamy head with good retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is mellow lemon citrus with substantial malt/caramel. Taste follows aroma (lemon more pronounced) with late resiny bitterness. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation and finish as taste with lingering moderate bitterness. Overall, fairly standard conventional IPA. Can says notes of toffee so malt forwardness is not unexpected. Hops a bit muted but age may play somewhat of a role. OK.

Can from the Grafton General store. Hazy deep gold in color with a thin bubbly white head that dissipates quickly. Earthy grassy citrus and tropical fruits with bits of bready malt to counter. Mild astringency.
