Beware the Crabberwock! With jaws that bite and claws that catch. Beware the vorpal Centennial, Chinook & Columbus hops. The dank piney citrusy bandersnatch goes snicker snack.

Ever so slightly hazy copper and bronze coloured body with a fairly thick three centimetre tall off-white and light tan coloured head that's microfoamed and stays atop nicely. Aroma of apricots, flowers, dry grain, some piney and grapefruit notes, with a fairly strong hop scent with alpha acids pretty evident here - in the nose, at least. Medium-bodied; Dank, Super orangey flavours show at first with a pretty noticeable hop bitterness, a cleanser-like astringency and a lot of alcohol warmth at the end, but while there is some fruit sweetness here, most of the fruits show as the rinds and add to the bitterness. Aftertaste is very dry, fairly straight-forward in terms of the flavours, but offering up a nice complexity with the range of the oranges and hop flavours, both of which are strong and the biggest components here throughout. Overall, a deep, super orange-y, bitter, hoppy and clean IPA that is pretty West Coastie - as there is a lot of bitterness here throughout, but the added oranges are nice, too. Great to have so incredibly fresh and local - probably as good as it was ever going to be! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from State Line Liqours in Elkton, Maryland on 05-February-2023 for US$5,69 canned on 12-January-2023 with the tagline 'Off With Your Head' on the bottom and sampled at my house here in Washington on 21-February-2023.
