As a Nats fan, glorying in their unreal World Series victory of 2019, I had to get this. Turned out to be a very nice solid IPA. Good head and lacing, hops forward, and worth trying, even if you are a fan of the cheatin' Astros. :)

 

 

Can dated 3/12:
Pours with a moderate haze to the burnished brass body, atop which sits a couple fingers of white foam. Spongy lacing remains as the thin white cap drops relative to my consumption.

Nose is a mix of overripe tropical fruit (including mango and pineapple), sweet onion puree, and candied lemon with some pine sneaking trough. The power of the pungent notes is a tad too strong up front, but its weakening in back along with the addition of the pine is more inviting.

Luckily the burn I sort of expected from the nose doesn't come through on the palate. Candied lemon with a bit of a sweet bread maltiness open. A bit of mango in the middle before a spring onion and grass counters to bring a little balance. The grass continues and morphs into a pine note in the end, even though the typical bitter hop notes don't bring bitterness to the beer.

16 oz can dated 3/12/20, so a few weeks old.

Another solid offering from these guys. It's 70% NE IPA, 30% WC IPA. Super fruity, a little soft, a little dry. Easy to drink.

A - Hazy medium orange gold cor with creamy bright white lacing.

S - Sticky dank, juicy citrus aroma

T - Juicy citrus, melon, spicy citrus, lychee fruit (?), and ends with a lingering citrus spice coating the mouth.

M - Thick and full bodied.

O - Canned two days ago, this IPA is rock solid and recommended.
