Super hazy golden coloured body with a nice, three centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of grass, blood oranges, bitter grapefruit, a hint of pine and a dose of noticeable malt and alcohol. Medium-bodied; Bitter blood orange, grapefruit and lime zest kick with some light herbs and dry malts noticeable throughout, all with quite a bit of an alcohol bite, some subdued grasses and hay flavours and ending with a nice and robust yeast strain flavour. Aftertaste is dry and bitter, mostly from the oranges and citrus, and a tiny bit from the hops - interesting throughout, but the bite from alcohol, bitterness and dryness are all large with absolutely no sweetness at all, but turns out that it’s okay! Overall, a nice and bitter IPA with big flavours and a rich finish, all without any sugars. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Shopper’s Food Warehouse in Alexandria, Virginia on 21-June-2017 for US$1,25 sampled at home in Washington on 27-August-2017.
