12oz bottle. What looks to be a filtered orange-tan body. Thin, fading, white head. Pretty much tastes like a classic late 90s to mid 2000s IPA. Between the horrifically cheesy label and the desperate, missed grab at the NE, it is hard to take Karben4 that seriously as a craft brewery at this point. Tastes like rindy C hops. Maybe there is a touch of some new school, but buried in the resin, bitterness. Not a bad IPA, but a shabby NE IPA.

12 ounce bottle from Total Wine Brookfield, 5/7/19.Murky dark amber, thin foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of toffee malt, muted fruits. Taste is toffee, pine, faint tropical fruit. Medium bodied, a bit of juiciness. Overpromises and underdelivers. The fruit character is faint but it's totally dominated. Good beer, but not what it promises to be. Rating #13.4k!
