6.4/10 Appearance 4 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Perfectly clear deep copper coloured body with some light movement down below, but no real head, as the can seemed to lack pressure after a few weeks (but was more solid when I bought it!). Aroma of light grainy malts, toffee, caramelised sugars with a hint of apricots and peaches here as well, but the malts seem strongest in the nose, with some hops here, too. Medium-bodied; Fairly rich caramelised sugars and light toffee notes show at first with some hop bitterness right behind that's a bit nutty and herbal, all bringing out a kick of the stone fruits and some smoother earthy and rustic malts here, which hit nicely at the end. Aftertaste is crisp, very malt-centric with a good level of both stone fruits and caramel with a rustic quality that also has a lot of bitterness from the hops - nice across the board. Overall, this is a pure older school East Coast (much maltier, grainier) IPA with no signs of anything West Coast at all. Not sure why this seemed to lose carbonation/structure of the can, but good to try - that's it - not worth finding or buying as there are much better options out there! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from The Sperryville Corner Store in Sperryville, Virginia on 09-July-2022 for US$4,69 sampled at my house here in Washington on 22-August-2022.
