Fairly light blonde coloured body with a great straw haze and some deeper raw honey colours, along with a thicker two to three centimetre tall tan and off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit, resin, light pine, flowers, grass and a deep herbal kick and a plentiful amount of both malt and alcohol. Medium-bodied; Very juicy flavour at first of citrus, full oranges, grass, hay, flowers, resin and some deeper sugars, more pungent and almost medicinal malts and a healthy bite and warmth of alcohol on the tail end. Aftertaste is relatively straight-forward with the floral and piney aspects the strongest, along with a hearty bite of alcohol and pungent grapefruit and lemon zest that brings out a nice bit of fruitiness, but nothing tropical or juicy on the finish. Overall, a relatively solid Imperial-ish IPA with a good layer of both bitterness and flavours from hops, while striking a good balance. Nice to try, especially while fresh and while it didn't disappoint, I wouldn't try to find this one again. I sampled this pint-sized, sixteen ounce can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 19-June-2020 for US$5,30 sampled at my house here in Washington on 05-July-2020.
