Pint can into a red plastic party cup. Cool label, but that’s about it. Fresh. I’ll give it fresh. But the beer lacks in eveything. Almost an afterthought rather than a fully realized craft offering. It doesn’t carry any of the hallmarks of a well made IPA, and I can’t find any reason to have another.
On a 1 to 5, I give it a ‘meh’.,.

This one just doesn’t do it for me. It’s very dirt/earthy tasting. Very strong dark hops. I’m not sure if I just got a bad 4 pack but very underwhelming for sure.

Pours a caramel hue with loose head that disperses into a clumpy slick. Nose is subdued - malt upfront, primarily biscuit with a touch of caramel. There's also a hint of citrus and pine. Taste expresses citrus and pine in the foreground; somewhat akin to a household cleaner but not necessarily in a bad way. Cracker malts are in the background of the flavor profile. Mouthfeel is light-medium in body (but closer to light) with a mild, even carbonation. Overall, a bit dull without much of a hops presence.

This is a slightly hazy caramel colored beer with very light head. The nose leans to a lager for me - not very interesting.
This is advertised as a bitter IPA and although it does deliver in bitterness, the flavor strays far too much from an IPA for me. It tastes more like an India red ale to me with the only IPA characteristic being a brief hoppy tinged hint on the tongue initially.
It comes off a bit flat midway and is missing the typical IPA hoppiness, not sure if I got a bad bottle but this is a less than average brew by my standards.
I love the label which is what caught my eye but the flavor is forgetful...

L - Golden and hazy.
S - Floral with tons of fresh hop notes.
T - As it states, bitter. I was looking for a bitter beer for tonight. Fits the bill.
F - Good carbonation. Doesn't linger.
O - Solid beer. Picked up 22oz for $4. I was looking for something bitter and it didn't let me down. Worth every bit of $4.
