Deep and hazy golden and peach coloured body with some raw honey glow and a subtle haze, but nothing too strong. Aroma of flowers, deep fresh-cut grass and a lot of herbal hops that also show a slight orange and tangerine fruitiness. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and deep hop flavours dominate with a lot of bitterness from the alpha acids with a ton of fruity flavours that show the orange and even light mango notes, but the bitterness persists throughout and leaves a nice alpha acid punch on the end and some noticeable alcohol as well. Aftertaste shows some sweetness from the fruits and a little resin and also a great layer of maltiness and a big hit of both alcohol and hop bitterness at the tail end, but the balance is struck right here. Overall, a nice and fruity, slightly dry and very grassy/herbal almost Imperial IPA that has a nice balance and a good layer of sweetness coupled with the bitterness. Nice to sample fresh and a good option for those who like grassier and herbal IPAs and can find this one! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Ye Old Spirits Shop in Frederick, Maryland on 29-November-2020, just after cutting down our family Christmas Tree, sampled walking on the streets of New York, New York on 19-December-2020.
