330ml can - not much to add, other than that I usually like Amarillo, so here's hoping (that's called foreshadowing, ladies and germs).
This beer pours a hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, rocky, and chunky bone-white head, which leaves some advancing Space Invaders pattern lace around the glass as lazily sinks away.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, juicy orange and white grapefruit, some earthy chalkiness, and more leafy, piney, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a lesser caramel sweetness, pithy orange and red grapefruit juice, a wet flintiness, and more leafy, herbal, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite restrained in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and genuinely smooth, with a nice airy creaminess pretty much there from the get-go. It finishes off-dry, the malt, citrus, and mixed forest floor detritus all playing together nicely in their lingering morass.
Overall, this comes across very much like a NE-style pale ale, and that's a huge compliment. Juicy, fruity, balanced, and crazy easy to drink - the pick of the litter, thus far, IMHO. Worth checking out, no matter what kind of 'IPA' you typically favour.
