Very clear copper, bronze and nice amber coloured body with a nice two to three centimetre tall tan head that stays afloat pretty well and leaves an elegant, thick lace on the sides of the glass. Aroma of caramelised sugars, toffee, nuts, earth, grain, a dash of resinous hops and a scent of flowers that make this seem stronger in malt than hops. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and dry resinous flavours come at first and provide a subtle bitterness, but then some dry and earthy, rustic caramelised sugar and toffee notes come through and really bring out the malts. Aftertaste is deep and pungent with a grassy, herbal and floral bite with a slight bitterness from the hops, but much more of an earthy, rustic and nutty flavour from the malts throughout, with a good layer of sweetness at the end. Overall, a bit more nutty, earthy and malty than most in the style - even from the East Coast, here, but this still has some nice hop notes, a good balance and some rich flavours. Great to try, as I was just passing through the area, but I wouldn't make this an IPA of regularity, should this be available to me. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Kroger [grocery] in Dayton, Ohio on 10-August-2021 for US$1,87, canned on 24-March-2021 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 24-November-2021.

Ever so slightly hazy beautiful golden and subdued copper coloured body with a fairly thin, one to two centimetre tall off-white head that seems to last for a longtime on top. Aroma of crisp grass, hay, flowers and soft malts with a tiny bit of alpha acids and bitterness picked up, but relatively subdued in the nose. Medium-bodied; A nice creamy and rich, biscuity, slightly buttery malt profile surprises with a solid dryness and herbal quality from the hops that comes out soon afterwards and provides a nice balance, but strong profile with a tiny hit of citrus fruits and bitterness from the hops. Aftertaste is enjoyable with a good malt and hop balance, some soft sweetness from caster sugar and even honey, but a dry, floral hop bitterness that is ever-present and shows well, considering the style. Overall, a solid beer throughout that is nicely balanced, yet crisp and doesn't seem to have any 'backyard tiki vibes' or anything slightly tropical about it. That said, this was a classy beer, especially in terms of the malts, from a GREAT store in the heart of the city. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Heinen's Market in [downtown] Cleveland, Ohio (Euclid Avenue) on 30-July-2021 for US$4,09 and canned just a few days earlier on 14-June-2021, sampled at my house here in Washington on 20-November-2021.
