On tap at the Melvern location. Not looking forward to this since IPA is not one of my faves. It came with the sampler, oh well. Aroma is unique. it has almost a farmy cow manure attribute about it, but in a good way. Attractive to the olfactory, almost like a saison or lambic, how weird. Looks a little browner than the ubiquitous american pale yellow beer. Yes, initial taste is quite strong on the hops. However, I find that I can handle it without problem. Almost not enough bitterness to make it an IPA, more like a strong APA. More hops than the Wicked Will’s but is almost not offensive. Barely any carbonation. That farmy feel keeps its presence even in the background of the flavors. An IPA I can almost enjoy if it wasn’t for that terrible bitter linger on the finish, which just won’t quit.
