355ml can - they refer to this as both an IPA and a Pale Ale on the label, so I guess we'll see.
This beer pours a mostly clear, medium copper amber colour, with four inches of puffy, rocky, and mildly bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some decent streaky Swiss cheese pattern lace around the glass as it very slowly dissipates.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, a bit of hard water flintiness, and some tame earthy, floral, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, some meek orange and red grapefruit citrus pith, a damp minerality, and more understated leafy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-coddling frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and more or less smooth, with nothing really existing here that might pose any sort of problem, as such. It finishes trending dry, the hops exhibiting some lingering fortitude.
Overall - yeah, this falls more into a hoppy pale designation than that of a proper IPA (especially given the ABV), so judging it by that, this isn't half-bad. The hops give it a nice, not too bitter flavour, so don't be like the titular hare, and check it out.
