Pretty hazy and murky orange and bronze coloured body with a fairly thin, one to two centimetre tall off-white head that leaves a pretty ugly lace on the sides. Aroma of citrus fruit, light grass, hay and some subdued sugars, without anything pungent. Light to Medium-bodied; Very crisp, grassy and citrusey flavours show at first with a nice floral and orange note from the hops with a good bitterness from the alpha acids, with a smooth layer of malt for support, with an enjoyable balance and still a good dose of complexity. Aftertaste shows some bitterness from the alpha acids here, but more of a robust and mellow, grassy and very citrusey easy-drinking beer with a steady hit of flavours, some of them bitter. Overall, about what I expected here, with some nuanced flavours and a nice citrusey, grassy and floral punch throughout that is purely new school IPA, in a good way. Great to try from South Carolina and not a bad beer at all - worth trying if you can find it, like I did - away from home! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Lowe's Foods in Pawley's Island, South Carolina for US$1,87 (as part of a mixed six pack) sampled at my house here in Washington on 27-April-2022.
