Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7
Very hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish, single to two centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat nicely, but is a bit thin. Aroma of very skunky and resinous hop aroma with some bright floral and grassy notes, but the piney and especially dank scents are strongest here, with a little malt noticeable as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive grassy and very floral flavours show at first with a big dose of pine and resin with a kick of pineapple and grapefruit with a lot of associated bitterness hitting with some syrup and honey at the very end - quite sweet in terms of residual sugars. Aftertaste shows the bitterness front and centre with the resin, flowers and especially the perfumey hop notes with some of the alpha acids and bitterness ending nicely along with a slight sweetness from the honey and syrup with a good balance of malt that does show a bit thick and dense, especially near the end. Overall, a pretty nice, well-balanced IPA with a bright grassy, floral and resinous dank hop bite throughout that hits the mark nicely. Good to sample, especially fresh! I sampled this stubby, twelve ounce bottle, purchased a few minutes ago from Russ's Market in Lincoln, Nebraska on 24-August-2021 for US$1,67 sampled a few hours later at my hotel room here in downtown Lincoln, Nebraska.
