Pours a way darker color than most 5.5% ipas. This was dark amber, producing a 3/4" white head with ample retention. Aroma was what you would expect coming in that dark: malty. Like they were going for some blend of red and brown ipa with no dry hopping, only bittering hops. The one thing this beer does consistently is give off a bitter grapefruit + unsweetened caramel/toffee vibe.
More bitterness, a meld of a brassiness and earthiness, I wouldn't exactly say "together at last" here. Toffee and caramel. Hint of pine creeps downbottle. So, this is what they mean when they say a balanced ipa. Not for me. Just not getting anything in terms of fruit notes out of this unless you count yellow grapefruit. Where we at, 60ibu here?
This could be a hoppy red/amber ale somewhere else. Could also be an english pale ale if it had some commensurate yeast of said origin going for it. I wonder if elrogish is gonna bring his usual slate of dick's and hale's beers while telling us to bring Cantillon this year?
