Smooth for an ipa with the malty finish. Different, but nice on a hot summer day.

Nabbed a sixer for $7.99 USD at an HEB.
IPA brewed with Simcoe, Columbus, and Cascade.
It's a bit imbalanced. Floral, a bit citrusy, resinous. Not oniony from the simcoe and not as vividly floral as one would hope in a Cascade and Centennial hopped IPA. Hop pungency is decent. Depth of flavour is average at best.
Pale malts and a sweeter malt (crystal or caramalt, probably caramalt) anchor it, but contribute too much sweetness.
Dry and coarse.
Drinkable albeit underwhelming. Not a bad brew at $1.33 per can, but I wouldn't bother with it again; it's a mediocre beer in a style oversaturated with good expressions thereof.
C (2.81) / AVERAGE

12.03.17 2nd impression from another can from the same sixer:
Muddled. Hop pungency is lackluster. Hop profile is underwhelming. Their hop selections seemed great on the surface - how many classic IPAs are brewed with Simcoe, Columbus, and/or Cascade? But the execution is disappointing.
A shrug of a stab at an expression of a beer in the most oversaturated style on the planet.

Sampled on tap in Walburg
Appearance: Amber glass shows a bit of haze and holds a white head that laces.
Aroma: Firm hop note with some clean base malt coming through.
Taste: Big hop flavor with the supporting malt being well in the background but keeps the package from being overly bitter.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, frothy, medium high carbonation, bit oily.
Overall: Great beer! Big fresh west coast hops, clean base, not much to hate. Would order again.
