Hazy amber body with a nice fluffy white head. Typical ipa aroma: citrus, mostly mandarin oranges. Very, very dry. Sweet with very little bitterness. Flavors are not very strong, mostly orange. Feel: adequate carbonation, alcohol is well hidden. Overall: very good

Penalty Shot pours a hazy, orangeish color with a long-lasting lacing head. The aroma has notes of orange and grapefruit. The flavor has notes of oranges, grapefruits, and a hint of peach. Good feel. Overall, it's a very good fruity, hazy IPA.

Picked up a four pack of cans at Luke's in Plymouth, Massachusetts for about seventeen dollars. Canned on date of 3/8/24. My seventh brew from these guys. A miss for me.
