Bottle, hazy pale with just maybe an orange tint. White head big and foamy then goes short and craggy. Nose is big sweet IPA hoppy perfume permeated the entire environment. First taste is hoppy bitter blast with an odd followup of something vanilla. Mouthcoating and creamy, not sure if this goes together but I don't care for IPA in the first place so I guess the vanilla aint helpen matters much. Slightly boozy with a warming sensation down the back of the throat and into the gullet. Not sure if I get this mess, its kinda of a blend of IPA and pastry. And guess what, I dislike those pastry bombs too. Weird, uncanny, strange, different and mysteriously unnatural. Barely tolerable for a macro pale lager lover. Whew. Won't buy this stuff again. Didn't drain pour but this was a difficult tick. Good thing it had some alky content at least. Somebody, please give me a cheap cold crisp macro pale american lager for a chaser, hehehehh. There. you have it.
