After emptying the contents of a pint can into a clear glass liter mug, it can't be said that this is a pretty pour. First, there's way too much seemingly ever expanding foam, instead of a proper head. The mess on top receded slowly, unevenly and very unattractively. Too much wheat in the wort is often the culprit and for IPAs, that's usually a bad thing. Beneath the nearly stark white mess, a murky dirty blond liquid is found. It really doesn't look inviting, neither. There's very little to smell, probably because the wheat and oats in this block anything inviting with their blandness. It doesn't taste as badly as it looks, but that's faint praise. Surprisingly, the starches actually let a good dose of citrus/pine-like hopping come through for the tongue. That doesn't save everything, but it sure mitigates some serious flaws. The mouthfeel is, at best, OK. It runs to the light side and lets just a little too much taste of alcohol inside. Regarding that, the amount alcohol tasted isn't bad, but there's just no quality from the surrounding ones. Even the hopping, probably the only good thing about this, can't compensate. On the way out, the glass lacing is so irregular, it can't salvage points for appearance. If it's a good dose of alcohol you're looking for, there are so many better in this category to choose.

This was a very clean beer, we just tapped it at Strongsville Heinens, it came in this weird plastic keg. The beer is certainly not "hopsurd" as it's not very hoppy or bitter at all just had a nice clean finish. I'll try it again bit so far this is a swing and a miss.
This is lowkey super mid. The finish is good and still feels clean but there's like nothing here dude. Especially for a DDH. This isn't worth recommending.
After tasting it today it's mildly better to me and has more depth but still disappointed
