Brewed as part of Grifter's IPA-a-day during Sydney Craft Week. I tried this on-tap at Yulli's in Surry Hills.
Pours an orange-amber hue with very heavy hazing in the body. Some weight to the body and a white, slightly creamy head. Some streaks of lace. Looks pretty flat, probably like an English IPA should, but with the haze it just makes it seem a bit dull.
Nose is lacking somewhat: slight earthiness, slight vegetative notes but mostly a little bit lacking. I would have expected a little more, but there's not even much malt character coming through despite the 6.5%. It's fine, just dull.
Light, fatty entry with some thin sweetness. Mid-palate has more of the hop character giving a little bitterness, along with some very faint caramel, but very little power in the flavours at all. Aftertaste has a vegetative quality rather than much bitterness. Feel is indeed almost flat, but there's not enough character otherwise to keep it going, so it leaves it almost dead.
This isn't great. Unless it's trying to replicate the watered-down weaker-than-pale-ale colonial IPA, I don't think it hit the mark. It's like a flat, listless, lifeless bitter as it stands. Grifter have done much better than this.
