Draught from brewery -mostly malt and citrus, it's ok otherwise unspectacular.

Pretty hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish, relatively fast-dying off-white and tan head above a mostly clear body with tons of very small bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of pine, grass, perfume and a good dose of lime zest and lime juice - very strong in the nose with even a slight hint of tequilla. Medium-bodied; Pretty bitter hops show at first with a distinct lime and floral, piney and quite resinous flavour here with a dry, grapefruity finish and some soft malts towards the end. Aftertaste shows a kick of flowers and a good deal of citrus with the grapefruit and especially the limes coming out at the end. Overall, a nice and older-schooled IPA with a distinct lime, citrus and resinous kick with way more hops than malt and a good pungency for those who like IPAs the way they were meant to be. I sampled this sixteen ounce pour on draught at the brewery here in Cape Charles, Virginia on 24-February-2023 for US$7,50 with my dad while visiting the Eastern Shore.
