This was an uphill battle for my tastes. I've yet to have a Cold IPA I enjoy, or a Hobbs beer that I love. This one was really decent tho and defied my preconceived notions of the style. Speaking of the style, it's listed incorrectly as an IPL.

I am sampling a cellar temp 16 oz can poured into my snifter. Can is date stamped 5/18/2022. Picked up at the brewery for $40 a case! Seemed a no brainer to buy and contribute to a wedding reception build a bar!
The beer pours a relatively clear golden hue with fluffy yet fairly dense bleached white head of 2.5 cm foams up. This foam fades to a sturdy edge layer and surface covering that sticks around throughout the sampling. Creates some scattered lattice when swirled or sipped.
The aroma on this is hop forward with citrus notes dominant. I get some oranges and lemons mixing with a bit of rindy pith notes and only hints of grainy malts in the background.
First sip reveals a medium to light body with fine tingly carbonation. Texture is smooth and maybe a little thin feeling, finish is very dry after each swallow.
Flavor is what I expect after the aroma advertising, just a hint of sweet cereal malt and then lemon and some orange mix with pithy grapefruit rind that leaves an astringent bite on the finish of each swallow. The lingering bitterness is the flavor that carries the beer. I actually find this to be a refreshing beer, much more hop bite than hop fruity. Pretty easy to drink over all.
