Bottle. Slightly hazy amber color,spongy head. Smell is a bit subdued, just a trace of tropical fruit. Taste is actually focused on the malt, with a side of mainly hop bitterness. This bottle is from October, so perhaps I’m not catching it at its freshest. Plenty of basic hop bitterness, and then there’s some note of Simcoe. It’s pretty nice, but it shows the limitations of a single hop beer.

Super hazy deep copper and amber coloured body with a nice, two centimetre tall off-white and tan coloured head. Aroma of grass, malt, citrus, pine and quite a bit of earthy and caramelised sugars. Medium-bodied; Assertive nutty and very earthy malt flavours up front with a defined caramel and toffee finish, showing some nice sweetness and fragrant hops. Aftertaste shows some juicy grassy and citrusey hops with some nice alpha acids and a touch of caramelised sugar and grain on the finish - quite strong. Overall, a nice and rich IPA with more of an East Coast feel showing some grain, alcohol and malt all the way around. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Binny’s Beverage Depot in Chicago (Downtown), Illinois on 25-May-2016 for US$1,67 sampled at home in Upstate (New Paltz), New York on 25-November-2016, exactly half a year later.
