Appearance - 10 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7
Very hazy deep copper and rich orange coloured body with a thick, five to six centimetre tall microfoamed tan head that's very slow to fade above the ninety per cent opaque glowing body. Aroma of bread, slightly spicey yeast elements with a strong orange and citrus cleanser scent with a touch of sweetness and some noticeable malt here, too. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong rich lemony and very astringent cleanser-like flavours start with a dry floral note, a bit later that all ends with a soft sweetness that seemingly comes from fruits and caster sugar as well, but a great pungency towards the end, too. Aftertaste is dry, fairly well-balanced with some deep malts, but crisp and slightly citrusey hop flavours with a mild sweetness, but deeper yeast and bread taste with a dose of flowers and slight perfumey flavours, too. Overall, a nice looking and crisp, dry beer with a slight citrusey and cleanser-like bitterness that's balanced nicely, has a light bite, but is fairly easy-drinking. Great to sample local and fresh and not a bad option for a new school IPA! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Pentagon Row), Virginia on 27-September-2021 for US$1,87, canned on 07-May-2021 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 02-October-2021.
