Fruity, with apple and caramel notes coming from the odd malt used. I’ve never had a Bavarian-hop IPA I’d drink twice, and Reindeer Games does nothing to change that trend. Floral-vegetal notes don’t compliment the malts, and the finish has an odd tang that tastes more like an old IPA than it should. Pass.

Lacks the bitter piney punch of a good West Coast IPA. Instead, the resin is kept to the periphery, with citrus and berry notes overshadowing the caramel on the front end. Not bad, just not what I look for in the style.
