Hazy deep coppered coloured body with a strong, three centimetre tall off-white head that shows large up top. Aroma of fresh hops with a good hay and herbal kick, along with some alcohol and punch and only showing a touch of the spelt - this smells more like a plain crystal or biscuity malt. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong spelt and malt flavours overall with a good dash of fresh hop flavours that range from pure grapefruit and resin and finish with a very nice hay and very dry coriander seed, wheat and grain (it must be the dryness from the spelt) notes. Aftertaste shows a lot of the residual bitterness from all the hops and the grain with a large dryness throughout, but a very clean and super easy-drinking beer, even with this grain noticeable throughout. Overall, a surprisingly nice beer that shows a ton of alcohol and punch, but the grain and mall bill show nicely throughout with some good hoppy and IPA notes throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-September-2018 for US$2,19 sampled in my hotel room here in Newport News, Virginia on 17-November-2018.

16 ounce can. Amber orange pour is slightly hazy. Small bubbly beige head. Mild, earthy fruity malt aroma. Toasted malt flavor upfront. Middle brings spicy hops with notes of lemon, lime and pine. Brief dry finish has peppery notes.
