(473ml can shared by Herbalist, thanks!) Pours opaque creamy yellow with a thick white head that fades slowly leaving heavy lace. Notes of pale citrus, fruit rind, herbal/peppery greenery, little leafiness, dougy malt, blueberry seemed confined to a little tart/tannic impression, quite dry overall with a bone dry moderately bitter finish and citrus resin/fruit rind aftertaste with moderate hop burn. Light to medium bodied, average plus carbonation. Solid if quirky IPA with an unusual hop profile from the Pink Boots blend, one wonders how much blueberry was in here when the colour and flavour are both taken into account though. Would have liked a more prominently fruited beer myself.
