From the 03/25/18 2nd Anniversary can release
Appearance - Pours crystal clear and golden yellow in color with a frothy white, finger width head. Sub-par retention results in a mostly barren surface with a fair ring encircling the edges. A few broken lines make up the lace.
Smell - Strong fruity and citrusy aroma with underlying caramel malt. Hint of floral and spice character.
Taste - Citrusy upfront with a touch of peach/apricot sweetness. Lightly toasted malt and caramel sit beneath. Hint of berry tartness mid-taste that strengthens into the finish, mixing into that citrus and stonefruit and gives this thing a wonderful, long lingering aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - On the lighter side of medium-bodied with tingly carbonation. Slick, almost velvety texture with a stupid smooth finish.
Overall - Interesting brew. I thought by hybrid they meant a cross between classic IPA and hazy, but this is straight up a classic IPA that's a hybrid between west coast and east coast brewing methods. Regardless, it's pretty damn tasty and one of the more unique classic IPA's I've had in a while. There's a brightness to the finish that just really shines. I'd expect nothing less from a collab between Claimstake and Revision.
