14oz sleeve at the Common, produced exclusively for this establishment (yah, right!). As usual, a nice punny, pop culture name - the '9910' refers to the bar's physical street address, in case you were wondering.
This beer appears a murky, medium apricot amber colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent melting glacier profile lace around the glass as things quickly progress.
It smells of blood orange and red grapefruit flesh, some further indistinct tropical fruitiness, bready and doughy caramel malt, some hard water flintiness, and more leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, orange, lemon, and white grapefruit juice, some damp minerality, muddled exotic fruity esters, and some earthy, herbal, and resinous pine verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly laid-back in its quotidian frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with the big citrus character playing nice enough at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, all malty and frooty.
Overall - this is a pleasantly rendered version of this still currently trendy IPA sub-style, good and citrusy, without a whole lot of attendant bitterness. Slick, and rather easy to put back, on a cold, windy afternoon, which portends of worse things to come.
