16 oz can
Hazy straw color with a finger of frothy white head. Average retention. Leaves some splotchy lacing.
Aroma is citrusy and lightly dank. Grainy malt presence.
Cracker malt and grapefruit lead the flavor. Some lemongrass and herbal dank hops.
Medium-light bodied with good carbonation. Standard for Alchemist beers.
Very good beer and insanely flavorful despite the 4.7% ABV. Does not drink like a "session IPA" in the slightest.

Picked up a four pack of cans at Alchemist Brewery in Stowe, Vermont for thirteen dollars. My tenth brew reviewed from these guys. Decent LAB, kind of a funky taste.

This is an IPA that has all the signature elements of an Alchemist beer. The hoppiness is through the roof, but at the same time not in a way that distracts from the rest of the flavors. What a great beer to celebrate a very Noble cause.
