Super hazy golden, straw and pale yellow coloured body with a thin half centimetre all just off-white head above the 80 per cent opaque body that barely covers the top. Aroma of crisp grass, hay, flowers, some resin and an odd, meaty, mushroomy and deep finish that doesn't fit the style - strong in malts. Medium-bodied; Rich grainy malts show at first with a very strong grassy and herbal hop bite with actual bitterness here along with a slight kick of lemons and some richer orange notes of kumquats and tangerines, with no sweetness, just the pungency and bitterness. Aftertaste is nice and robust with a great balance of the strong malt and hops that shows a lot of bitterness from the alpha acids of the hops but also supported by the rich malts that hold up nicely and give a full-bodied profile that while doesn't make this very easy-drinking, much more complex and full-of-flavour. Overall, a very nice local-ish IPA that definitely hits as an unfiltered East (or even West) Coast IPA with real bitterness rather than a New England (new school) IPA but either way, definitely recommend for those who love IPAs, like me. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from The Sperryville Corner Store in Sperryville, Virginia on 18-June-2022 for US$4,69, canned on 11-May-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 25-June-2022.

16oz can a pulpy orange with some creamy white head. Nose has some tropicals and some melon, a touch pithy. Flavor is chewy with malt and wheat and straw and some melon. Heavy orange. Full bodied finish drinks very heavy.
