Very hazy and chunky deep orange, bronze and copper coloured body, all with a thick, two to three centimetre tall rich tan head - very nice. Aroma of soured fruit, grapes, hay, dry wheat, flowers and a bunch of citrus hops. Medium-bodied; Deep soured fruit and lightly bretty taste at first that shows some mellow yeast and a dash of dry grass, but the complex sour, tart and wheat flavours finish it up with a great deal of complexities ranging from sweet citrus and berry notes to dry wheat and floral flavours and finishing fo course with the mouth-puckering sour element - very nice throughout. Aftertaste is nice and robust with the fruit and soured flavours by far the strongest - there really are no hops to speak off; or for this is to be called an 'IPA' at all - this is a sour, period. Overall, a very nice, complex, robust beer with bunches of flavours - but it isn't an IPA, and as long as you are okay with that - go out and try to find it...it is very good! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Dominion Beer & Wine in Falls Church, Virginia on 22-October-2019 for US$4,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 27-January-2020.
