8/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 9 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Very clear, super effervescent body with zillions of small bubbles constantly rising from the bottom with a thinnish, one centimetre tall off-white head that fades quickly. Aroma of apricots, peaches, light white grapes and some flowers - very nice in the nose and quite strong. Light to Medium-bodied; Pretty floral and perfumey up front from the fresh hops with a slight sweetness of apricots and peaches with a good bitterness, but the balance from the very crisp malt and the flavours from the white grape juice are great. Aftertaste is enjoyable with the floral and perfumey, dry hop notes the strongest, but the balance and light sweetness are very nice for this. Overall, a very nice IPA that seems to cover mulitple sub-styles, but does ultimately show more of a plain East Coastie style with good dryness - much better than I expected and one of the best from the brewery that I've ever had & not just for the style. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Wegman's [grocery] in Fort Belvior (Alexandria), Virginia on 05-June-2023 for US$2,33 (as part of a mixed six pack), canned on 17-May-2023 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 05-July-2023.
