Taste comprises hop spice, pine resin, guava, bitter tropicana, booze whisper, orange peel.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with danko come lightly resinous hop bitterness allied to a rising boost.
Solid TIPA that carries a good bitter feel throughout.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy yellow pour, fine white head. Zesty , grapefruit peel aroma. Taste follows with more tangy citrus, grapefruit pith, juicy. Creamy feel with the grapefruit zest lingering.
Last of the unexpected fruit bombs, still pretty good blend, hopefully still due to the IPA base, tasty topical fruit and berry notes, hints of tart tea and vanilla
Was hoping for a nuanced sour IPA, think my last one before Primitive's one was many years ago, got a fruit bomb but it's pretty good! And I'm glad it isn't a kettle sour base I guess. Tons of berry notes, sweet and tart, thick and hopefully lactose free.
