473ml can - an aptly topically named offering, made in the PNW style. The label suggests that it 'pairs well with steak and heartbreak'. Ooookay, then.
This beer pours a clear, medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent thickly webbed lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, a mild stoney flintiness, and some leafy, weedy, and resinous piney green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, some orange, red grapefruit, and lemon citrus peel, a subtle damp minerality, and more floral, leafy, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-probing frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a touch of hoppy insouciance maybe getting in the way of the ideal at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the hops consolidating their lingering grip on power.
Overall - this does indeed seem like those IPAs of yore, when I first encountered them more than a decade or so ago. Crisp, somewhat edgy, and a pleasure to put back. I don't currently have any steak around, and as for the heartbreak, that's a story that need not be told.
