16 oz single can, into Ploughshare wide mouthed glass. No date.
Pours a juicy body of blonde-orange with a toothpaste head of 1 finger, receding messily to a fingernail. Leaves some sparse looped lacing up the sides of the glass.
Aroma is definitive White Elm juice funk, which is kind of its own thing, neither good or bad. It brings lemon drop candy and citrus fruits, namely grapefruit and orange. On the herbal side of things it brings cannabis and fresh cilantro. Quite an exuberant profile for a basic hazy pale ale.
Flavor is hard water, sharp pine, sharp grass, and light notes of citrus peel medley - grapefruit, lemon, lime, orange. It never does bring the sweetness of any of the fruits presented here, but it lends some acidity not unlike OJ but with the sweetness stripped away entirely. Begins to taste like a soccer wipeout after awhile and falls to the same sharply bitter fate as its Experiential series. Finish is of lemon peels, grass stains, and grapefruit pith.
Feel is way overly acidic, and I typically like acidic IPAs. It's almost as if I'm drinking battery acid. The prickly carbonation is intense as well, compounding the issue. The alcohol heat is moderate to mild, I'd say somewhat hidden as I've had worse 6.5'ers. Resins build towards the finish and linger after the swallow.
Overall, it seems White Elm makes a habit of missing the New England style quite a bit and swings wide and far from the putting green. This may contain the acidity (to a literal painful fault, ouch) of what most would consider New England style IPA, but is still a shabby beer underneath all of that revamping.
