Very hazy and chunky deep orange, bronze and copper coloured body, all with a thick, two to three centimetre tall rich tan head - very nice. Aroma of soured fruit, grapes, hay, dry wheat, flowers and a bunch of citrus hops. Medium-bodied; Deep soured fruit and lightly bretty taste at first that shows some mellow yeast and a dash of dry grass, but the complex sour, tart and wheat flavours finish it up with a great deal of complexities ranging from sweet citrus and berry notes to dry wheat and floral flavours and finishing fo course with the mouth-puckering sour element - very nice throughout. Aftertaste is nice and robust with the fruit and soured flavours by far the strongest - there really are no hops to speak off; or for this is to be called an 'IPA' at all - this is a sour, period. Overall, a very nice, complex, robust beer with bunches of flavours - but it isn't an IPA, and as long as you are okay with that - go out and try to find it...it is very good! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Dominion Beer & Wine in Falls Church, Virginia on 22-October-2019 for US$4,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 27-January-2020.

$4.30 pint can, WW. Muddy gold with a frothy head. Orange, pineapple... juicy, but ordinary (for the style) aroma. Flavor is green everything... grass, leaves, hops... citrus peel, floral hops, pineapple, burnt hops. Decent, but doesn't compare to their commonwe... contemporaries up the road.

Draft pour at Dominion Wine and Beer. Poured a slightly opaque, mostly clear ruby red color with a small wispy head atop. Aroma was coriander, wheat. Pomegranate is prominent in this one. Interesting.
