Poured from a tall boy fresh from the brewery. Head dissipates after a few minutes but the glass shows nice lacing (about 20 min after initial pour). This is a great alternative at 4.2% and a steal at $10/4pk. Tastes like a much more filling / boozy IPA with a great aftertaste that lasts - perfect for a holiday gathering (or tailgating after the pandemic) where ABV matters but you would still like to taste the beer. Marketed to the cycling / radler crowd, but I would love to see a movement to milds and more sessionable pub beers in general from this brewery. Excellent flavor, well done.
