Don’t act like you’re not impressed. We figured out how to put pleasure in a package. And now we’re selling it. Pleasure, that is–the can is free. And when you can barely lift your right arm, grab life by the horns and come along for the ride. Moustache not included. Pleasure Town. Oh. We’re going there.

Can. Has a west coast and Midwest ipa vibe going on. Lots of pine, dank hops, weedy, and a bit of grapefruit. Bready malt backbone. Some resin. Fairly bitter.

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a murky to semi-hazy burnt orange/copper sort of color with a finger's worth of dieing head that left a little bit of lace running here and there, fairly messy.
The aroma had some grainy to leafy hop bitterness up front and tight over top of some baked malty tones. Light piney-ness but even that seemed just a wee bit far fetched.
The flavor was bitter up front - a blend of those hops and malts that had a hard time really trying to pull in the sweetness in from the hops and malts. Aftertaste was the malts and becoming somewhat cracker-like.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine. Finish was a bit astringent.
Overall, honestly, I'm glad I tried it, but I'm not normally a fan of Midnight Sun's lower ABV-ed beers.
