Crisp, very clear golden coloured body with a super thick, eight centimetre tall soapy, tan head that's very ugly and leaves a nasty lace on the sides. Aroma of light spice, grass, perfume, hay, flowers and a tiny dose of curry leaves, with a plastic-y note, like what you'd smell from a garden hose in the summertime. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong perfumey and grassy notes dominate with some coriander seed, hay and very floral finishes, but the curry leaves and that plasic-y flavour that isn't so bad, but is very distinct and one that I've never tasted in a beer - this must be the aromatic saffron. Aftertaste is crisp with a hay, grass and very perfumey finish that has a lot of very nice, soft, nuanced flavours that hit well and still present a very enjoyable (light) bitterness from the hops here, with some small sugars at the finish, but the spices do very well here and make this complex, 'different' and very enjoyable throughout. Overall, a very nice IPA throughout, especially with the saffron spice, great to have locally and well-recommended if you can find it! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Wegman's Grocery in Alexandria, Virginia on 13-November-2021 for US$1,99 (part of a mixed six pack), canned on 07-December-2020 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 19-November-2021.
