Ever so slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish, single to two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of lemons, grapefruit, oranges and a touch of pine with a lot of malts here that provide a nice layer and some sweetness in the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong citrus flavours come through with a lot of malts for support and a dry crisp bite with a tiny bit of hoppy notes and bitterness from the alpha acids with a small sweetness from the fruits and caster sugar here. Aftertaste shows some herbal notes, but the crisp citrus and orange flavours come through with a good balance and easy-drinking profile. Overall, a nice and fairly standard newer school IPA that's slightly unfiltered, but the label (and location of the brewery) made me try this one and while not bad, not something that everyone should rush out and try, assuming they can find it pretty easily. I sampled this twelve ounce, stubby bottle purchased from Hy-Vee [grocery] in Madison, Wisconsin on 08-August-2021 for US$1,99 sampled on Thanksgiving Day on 25-November-2021, with my family.
