Murky-looking IPA with a thin head. The can design was a no-brainer for me, as a former NM resident and neomex hop fan I knew exactly what I was getting before I even read the label. Props to the graphic designer - going down main street isn't always easy for a creative but it was highly effective here. Moderate bitterness, and some thick malts. But the hop has a gooseberry brightness complemented by some tropical notes, arguably more like the cutting edge of Victorian hops than neomex. But still, a high quality hop character.
