7/10 β€” Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Clear golden and light peach coloured body with a relatively thick, two to three centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of crisp citrus, grass, light flowers and a heavy hit of perfume, all with a tiny bit of malts. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong bitter hops show at first that are grassy and very fruit focused, but don't show the mango flavours or any tropical fruit notes, but do show a lot of grapefruit, lemon and orange notes, all with a moderate malt backbone. Aftertaste shows some grass, light piney bitterness from the hops and a relatively smooth, but balanced malt profile that hits strong and shows a lot of flavour throughout, but perhaps not too much complexity. Overall, a nice and fruit-based IPA that shows more citrus and even apricot notes than anything tropical or mangoey, but all relatively bitter and enjoyable. A nice beer, and while nothing spectacular, a solid East Coast IPA that has a pleasant bitterness and balance. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 12-September-2020 for US$2,79 sampled at my house here in Washington on 30-September-2020.Β
