16 fl oz pull-tab can with a green label:
6.6% ABV. "India Pale Ale." "Grist: Golden Promise, Wheat, Oats, Honey Malt." "Hops: Citra, El Dorado, Mosaic, Azacca."
A competent IPA with a nice hop profile rife with pleasant hop oils, pulp, floral flavours, and some limited fruitiness, but it compares unfavorably to the best IPAs from its own state (e.g. Odell, Odd 13, Weldwerks) - nevermind those even farther afield.
Citra and Mosaic are so often magical in combination, but neither's strengths are well showcased here...I don't get Citra's rich citrusy flavour or Mosaic's signature subtle blueberry.
Drinkable but not a top tier expression of the style.
High C+ / ABOVE AVERAGE

16oz can I picked up last week. It was super cloudy orange and all mucked up. Smells great, tons of hops. Flavor is good but the aftertaste was a little harsh.

Looks like straight orange pulp, hazy and frothy. Smell is on-point , green and herbal- tastes like I either need to light it and puff or drink it immediately. earthy notes come through in the taste, just enough bitterness to remind you its an IPA, loving this fresh green taste though, very nice. Mouthfeel is crisp and dry, not overdone in the bitter finish, it finishes quick but leaves you wanting more. Overall this is definitely my favorite IPA from Cerebral so far, would definitely go after another 4 pack of this anytime it's available. These guys were killing it at GABF week 2017 so stay on the lookout
