Pint can thanks to hershiser2! 5/5/23. First live rate in a while as I got my vacation backlog in. Hazy orange, large beige head, average retention. Aroma of melon, orange, pale malt, mild hint of dank. Taste is grapefruit, lime, lemon, pale malt. Juicy, tad bit thin. Decent.

Ever so slightly hazy light golden coloured body with a faint, super filtered honey glow, all under a nice two centimetre tall microfoamed just off-white head. Aroma of flowers, dry malts, grass, light honey sweetness and a hint of soft hop bitterness in the nose with low alpha acids. Medium-bodied; Very rich malts seemingly come out of nowhere here, with a deep biscuity and super dry quality with some bitterness, all punching out any deep hop bitterness, but what comes next is sweet - honey flavours show with a soft citrus note that is lemony and even showing a dose of cleanser and lemongrass notes. Aftertaste is fairly well-balanced with a ton of dry, grassy and citrusey flavours with a good level of sweetness that cuts through, all with noticeable alcohol that warms the palate and ends fairly robustly. Overall, a pretty nice, fairly complex, very dry and grassy IPA that sort of borders on Imperial status, but this is purely East Coast IPA, not new school at all. Nice to sample very fresh and local and a good option for older IPA lovers! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Wegman's in Lake Manassas (Gainesville), Virginia on 15-September-2021 for US$1,99, canned on 13-May-2021 with the tagline 'SSS Darren Decker' and sampled at my house here a few blocks from the Pentagon on 08-October-2021.

Grapefruit and some pineapple. Golden pour with decent head. Bitter end with some booze. Ok. Tap at Taco Rock.

Growler pour from Meridian Pint - back in December. Poured a light yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was nice light hop notes, with some mild pine and tropical fruit. Flavor was juicy hops, slight grass.

$4.49 pint can, Total Wine, Gainesville. Pours golden, pretty clear, small off-white head. Aroma is lemon zest, grapefruit, light resin. Flavor is lemon zest, grapefruit peel, resin... ordinary and completely unmemorable.

Can at home from Total Wine Millenia Plaza. Light colored yellow frothy head. Nose is sweet tropical fruit like a resort drink. Tastes of pineapple, green onion, some malt, cantaloupe, and grassy. Too sweet palate not enough bitterness.
