From a 16oz can, dated 11/14/18. Served in a spiegelau IPA glass.
Pours a heavily hazed, dull burnt-orange with a finger-and-a-half of soapy, dirty-white suds. Retention is meh but leaves a fat, creamy collar and some fairly decent swooshes of lacing.
Moderately-strong aroma of sticky-sweet fruit, pineapple, papaya and peach. Basically, I guess, any fruit that starts with 'p,' right?
Taste takes a bit of a 180° to the nose, being somewhat raw and harsh out of the gate, burnt wheat toast and super-bitter marmalade. Seville orange and grapefruit, all pithy and rindy, with the aforementioned fruits that start with 'p' present but in a minor, supporting role. Grainy with high bitterness relative to the style.
Feel is drying and resinous, no more than medium bodied with aggressive, prickly carbonation. It's evident that this is a high abv beverage from the grainy, isopropyl alcohol-mouth-drying sensation although the taste of alcohol itself isn't present on the palate.
Overall, well, here's something different, a sort of retro, old-school bitter bad boy beverage, not at all what I expected to find in a Foam can. More like a Foley IPA really. There's nothing wrong with that but, if I drive all the way to Burlington for Foam, goddammit, I has me some certain expectations.
