Ever so slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a plain, two to three centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of crisp grapefruit, lemons, pine and some floral hops with a lot of grainy malt noticeable and a heavy dose of resin and pure sugars towards the end of the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grapefruity and lemon flavours up front with a lot of alpha acids from the hops that end in some malty and crisp alcohol and sweetness flavours towards the end. Aftertaste is bitter from the hops in an old school IPA type of way, with a good balance from the malts, which support this nicely. Overall, a crisp, citrusey and well-balanced IPA that shows some nice bitter hops through the alpha acids without any of the 'new school' flavour characteristics that are fruity, juicy or tropically, and that's an okay thing. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Whole Foods in Naples, Florida on 28-December-2020 for US$2,99 sampled in my hotel room here in Sanibel, Florida on 29-December-2020.
