Nice foamy head, lacing; somehow underwhelming- it’s, just, fine. Not going to be another purchase at price point.

Bomber from the brewery; no packaging date and served barely chilled.
Pours a cloudy, translucent golden-yellow colour, generating one finger of smooth, foamy white head that collapses within a minute or two, draping the glass with a tight band of lace as it recedes down to a soapy collar. Looks fine, but the aroma is relatively uninteresting - hints of apricot, bready malts and grapefruit, with suggestions of green apple and passion fruit. I don't mind it, but it's not exactly getting me pumped.
Its flavours are similar - inoffensive, but otherwise uninspired (and "tropical" is a stretch tbh). Stone fruit and grapefruit at first, with hints of passion fruit developing by mid-sip. The finish is pithy, grassy, and a little resiny, with gritty, grainy pale malts also coming through; not a lot of bitterness, with grapefruit pithiness lingering briefly into the aftertaste before it dries off. Light in body, with spritzy carbonation that lends a nice, crisp bite to this brew's smooth mouthfeel, making for a fairly refreshing quaff. Drinkability is its strongest suit, and if you're in the mood for a session IPA, you could do way worse than this.
Final Grade: 3.63, a B grade. There's nothing especially wrong with That's Why They Call Him Satellite Dave, but there's nothing particularly memorable or attention-grabbing about it, either. It's sessionable, and its hop flavours are nice enough, but that's not enough to maintain my interest for long. Serviceable, but probably not at its small batch price - all around not as good as the other, equally silly-named 5% tropical IPA they released last month around the same time (Caught Behind A School Bus on Lakeshore).
