VHS & Chill Retro IPA

From a 500ml can on 28/2/2021. Pours a deep golden bordering on light amber with a medium head which disappears quickly. The nose is toasty, nutty with caramel and pine. Dominated by malt up front, with lots of caramel and biscuit, lots of sweet and tangy citrus, followed by some medium but lingering piney, resiny hops, featuring a hint of grapefruit. The mouthfeel is a touch slick, the carbonation moderate. It's curious but Aussie brewers rarely seem to make IPAs with the malty accents so typically found in US WC examples. But here is one that does, exhibiting lovely balance and length, while not just being a clone. An excellent IPA.
