Tasty enough with not much body suprisingly hops are muted and alcohol is well hidden to my suprise considering the other elemnts found. A decent brew just not what one might expect in an IPA. I guess you could say it's English in style and American on booze quotient which does not quite add up.

355ml can, part of a sextet of this nascent brewing concern's canned offerings to show up at the 'local' bottleshop around here.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with three chubby fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and well bubbly ecru head, which leaves some splendid webbed lace around the glass as it slowly abates.
It smells of gritty and grainy caramel malt, a touch of biscuity toffee sweetness, muddled domestic citrus rind, faint earthy yeasty notes, and some minor leafy, weedy, and wet pinecone green hop bitters. The taste is more grainy and dry bready caramel malt, some still indistinct citrus pith essences, a hint of rainbow peppercorn spiciness, some further hard to get a grip on tropical fruitiness, and a sedate leafy, earthy, and herbal verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-smarming frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a sense of airy creaminess that can't quite get its ass off of the ground. It finishes trending dry, the so-implied hop onslaught still duly awaited.
Overall, this is not a bad brew, per se, but one that over-promises, and subsequently underdelivers. Yeah, it's hoppy, but in a pandering and hardly robust manner. Easy enough to drink, once you stop thinking about parsing the hell out of it, I suppose.
