Now right off the bat, I gotta gripe about a lack of date and the fact that this is a 6.4% "double" IPA. I am *far* from the most date-/ABV-crazy beer drinker out there, but come on! If you print a warning to drink it fresh but don't include a date, fuck you! I'm not a mind reader. If your fermentation didn't finish out, just call it a single. This is not the end of the world, but you set expectations before the can is opened whether you set out to or not. Through some internet research I can determine this is very fresh, so I guess that's a good sign...
It pours muddy orange with some fine particulate. Bubbly, gassy, strangely soapy-looking head. The aroma is orange rinds and diacetyl. Faded citrus, grass clippings and Werther's. The flavor is similar. Buttery faint citrus (think the orange flesh AFTER juicing) and green hops with a minty, astringent, slightly alcoholic finish. It is actually very astringent. Probably the most of any beer I've ever had. It's crazy how I can feel the pucker of it. This is off. It is not infected or anything as far as I can tell, but it is not good. Unbalanced, clear hop creep issues, still too green to serve, muddled, undated, overpriced, blech.... Ordinarily I would not review a beer like this thinking it was a bad can, but since everything on my end (and at the beer store) followed best practices, I am led to believe that this is how the beer was supposed to come out. Anyway, an enjoyable unplanned off-flavor training course for everything that could go wrong with a NEIPA.
I will, however, keep an eye one these guys and try their beers again. I am sure that they just need to get in their groove.
