Draft pour pint at Malt and Vine. A bit of a dank aroma to this. A mostly clean golden pour. Oily head with sticky lacing. Bold hop content. Some metallic going on. Earthy malt underneath a bitter hop. Light flavor in this session. A bit watered down. A bit on the plain side. This wasn't bad, but it didn't do much for me overall. A plain session IPA is what I got. Better than a lot of offerings I've come across though. UPDATE: Found a 12 oz can of this, and gave it a deserved retry. Enjoyed this a lot more the second time around. A nice melon like hop profile came through. Still a nice sessionable IPA with an interesting single hop showcase.
