Delusional Optimist

Poured from the can into a Spiegelau IPA glass.

Neutral amber, with some solid mix of different colors. Hints lemon yellow, to darker orange, settling somewhere in the middle just in between, hazy, not turbid, but some clarity enough to see some fine carbonation. Classic big white head, easily three fingers plus with lots of retention and staying power. Quite a good amount of lacing also.

Aroma continues the good theme, even considerably above average. Pungent flavors of light herbs and a dank citrus sweetness that comes off real nicely. Neutral malt base, a slight sense of chalky like flavor though, but only slightly. Otherwise a very enjoyable nose.

Palate continues much of the same, but perhaps with less surprises. Light touching orange citrus hop, just barely hinting a juicy character on first sip. Light touching hints of soft mint, a little bit of lemon as well too. Doesn't quite get a creamy character but flirts with it slightly.

All in all, a pretty decent hazed and flavorful IPA.
