Watch out Kermit--here come the PENGUINS! Citra, Cashmere & Centennial hops combine for notes of ripe peaches & fresh lemon, with light-n-crispy bitterness on the finish. Bright lights, big city, intergalactic penguins--who could ask for anything more?

From the label on the can: "CANNED ON: 04/19/22"
Appearance: The body is a pale and milky yellow color. It is completely opaque. There is a very large fluffy white head and it takes a very long time to start coming down. The head looks nice but be careful when pouring. Nice blotches of lacing.
Aroma: It has a pleasant and simple grapefruit aroma.
Taste: Up front it has this dusty and waxy old chocolate bar character. There is some old cabbage and hay grass in the middle. The back of the mouth doesn't have much flavor. There is some hay in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: It feels light bodied and watery. Low vegetal bitterness.
Overall: It looks nice and it smells alright but there isn't much flavor. As a whole it tastes and feels like many of the standard attempts at a New England Style IPA and it is pretty boring. The hop flavors come across mostly as old grass and that waxy flavor that comes from biting into and old chocolate bar. It is drinkable but it isn't a beer I would buy again. I wouldn't recommend it but if you are out someplace and this is the only thing on the menu it's still worth drinking. Not bad just pretty lifeless and uninteresting.
