This is a good example of a real U.S. prime american beer, it presents itself as a mellow somewhat shy ale but once you tread on it, it goes nut-nits on you. In this case it goes from the decoy of just another pale lager for the military to a monster smash in the face IPA. As soon as you hit it, it goes full mouth puckering double imperial IPA. Surprisingly orange in its presentation. Also, intersting hoppy perfume of mild candified hops. Tho the aroma is not full blown IPA, the taste is, and probably so is the the glass coating vicious viscosity of it all. It’s terribly on the the mah fah palate for freakin typically rude IPA, kicking your mouth’s ass all over the place, heheh. Big giant rude nasty, ruin my palate for a month, freaking BS mouth coating ale. Whew! I’m hoping this is how the U.S. military behaves once agitated. If you like IPA, you better check this astringent bastard out. It’s a rototiller! ...or is that PLOW!? This was a BIG surprise fer sure. Ho yeah, and by the way, this has to be more than 5-6% No way is it 4.6, that’ll fool yah.
