After all these years, STILL underrated!

 

16oz. can into a Becher glass. Creamy OJ looking IPA with a solid white head. The citra hops really shine on this with a nose full of citrus fruit, namely orange and slight grapefruit. Slightly resiny with a dry finish, which is exactly how I like my IPAs.
Super drinkable and dangerous for 8+%. Very well done IPA - well above the line.

 

 

 

 

 

From a 16oz can, dated 08/29/23. Served in a spiegelau IPA glass. Cap-tip to @franktank18 for his resourcefulness, incidental generosity, and just how murderous he looks in a tie.

Pours an opaque milky orange with two fingers of airy, whipped egg white-like foam. Retention is fairly decent, leaving a fizzy cap and sudsy, slippery lacing.

Nose is pretty faint but, what there is of it, seems to me sugary, candy-like. Aroma of lemon drops and orange LifeSavers.

Taste is less sweet than expected, drier and more tart. Tasting lemon rind, tangerine and gooseberries. Some astringency standing in for actual legitimate bitterness - but not such that I’d care to complain about it.

Feel is dry and drying, clean and maybe feeling a bit lighter bodied than it really is due to fairly aggressive bright and fizzy carbonation. There’s a mildly acidic and boozy smoulder in the gullet, not unexpected given the abv.

Overall, tasty and gone all too soon. In accordance with can instructions I shall now refrain from operating machinery for some appropriate period of time.
