Slightly sour aroma initially, makes you think the beer is off at first. But in mouth it's mostly just plain. Strawlike. Golden pour with ok head. Finish cloys a little. Tap at 14th Street location.

Relatively crystal clear golden coloured body with a fairly large five to six centimetre tall pure white head that stays afloat for a long time, but the most noticeable here are the thousands of large floaters that twirl around - crazy looking and not so great! Aroma of oranges, bitter grapefruit peel, dry grain, herbal hops, some alcohol and grainy, biscuity notes and finished with a light sweetness - in the nose - at least. Medium-bodied; Incredibly drying, grassy and very grapefruity and especially herbal, astringent metallic and super bitter pungencythat shows a lot of the hop bitterness still noticeable with a slight balance of light malts and perhaps a tiny dose of the blood orange notes here as well, but those don't seem to add to the sweetness. Aftertaste is nice and robust, fairly one-dimensional (dry) but at least with only one major direction - there is some complexity, as fruits, hops, malt and especially grassiness all seem to contribute to the astringency, dryness and bitter quality from this one. Overall, a nice, but super dry, bitter and incredibly pungent, orangey (without any of the sweetness) IPA that shows closest to a Brut style, but this has notes of West Coast as well, but enjoyable to me, very bitter and astringent, but that's the way I like them - great to have, pretty fresh, as well! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Laurel, Maryland on 06-December-2022 for US$3,79 sampled at my house here in Washington on 03-February-2023.

5 oz draft. Aroma is some fresh squeezed, grapefruit juice. Flavor dominated by grapefruit, but also a soft, sour and then sugar note in the finish. Dead flowers is light. It’s sort of pulls off the sweet tart candy character.
