Really not very good at all. I could only taste a hint of that chacteristic Austin Street bubble gum yeast, and there was some wierd "tonic" taste on the back end; this manifested itself in the mouthfeel which was medium and smooth otherwise. In addition to that, there was none of their normal haze or fruity smell - it's almost like this came from a different brewery. It was drinkable, but only barely and I ended up drain pouring the last couple ounces, glad I only traded for a single.
Postscript - as a huge fan of Austin Street, I've got to tell it how I see it. This was my first IPA since the new Fox Street facility opened up so I'm wondering if there could be some issue with dialing in larger batches on new equipment? No idea, but this beer didn't work for me.
