16oz can. Bottom date stamp is '05/05/25 09:33:28 JIGGLE PROOFED'.
Looks to be unfiltered, with a cloudy clarity. Two fingers of white head with the pour, and this stays around as a full cap. Leaves behind extensive lacing webs.
Aroma is hoppy with citrus and dank resin. Malts underneath.
Taste is heavily hopped, with flavors of orange, lemon, pine, and dank resin. Bread dough malts, with a bit of tanginess. Has a bitter touch all the way through the taste profile. Short lived aftertaste.
Medium mouthfeel. Very drying, with a clean and crisp finish. Excellent carbonation.
Interesting combination of wheat malt, lots of hops, and lager yeast. Similar to an IPA but has a sharper note, thus an IPL.
