650ml bottle - 'double pale ale'. So, IPA, then?
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent EKG pattern lace around the glass as it slowly seeps away.
It smells of dank pine resin, gritty and grainy cereal malt, some indistinct domestic citrus peel, a stoney flintiness, and more leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery caramel malt, some orange, red grapefruit, and lemon rind, a muddled tropical fruitiness, some damp minerality, and more leafy, herbal, and piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad out of the ol' basement bar fridge. It finishes trending dry, the hops consolidating their lingering stranglehold.
Overall - this is indeed one big and hoppy brew, but, as mentioned, I don't really see it as being any different from any other well-made Yankee-style IPA. Worth checking out, and an especially flavourful offering to pair with all the gustatory mania soon to kick into gear.
