Amazing to me how a brewery can create an IPA this one-sided. Starts off with a huge burst of peach, creamsicle, bubblegum, and a touch of papaya, then…nothing. Pretty much a void on the back end, no real bitterness or lingering fruit notes, just a baseline sweetness that fades into nothing.

Draft pour at Westover Beer Garden. Poured a very vibrant red color, slight haze to it, wispy head. Aroma was big grape, apple, some very light tart citrus? Flavor was light citrus, sweet, but not too sweet for me.

Month old pint can
A: Crystal clear pale mahogany or tea color with little head or lace.

M: Medium body, low to average carbonation and sticky finish.
O: Interesting flavor blend but ultimately just a bit too sweet.
