A 330ml crafty-can (matt wrapped) which suggests a) it's hipster b) risks being over-hopped.
L- Chestnut brown, pours with slight haze with a 10-12mm pale tan very creamy looking fine-bubble head that's already adhering to the sides (lacing here we come).
S- When you get citrus, grapefruit here, on the pour from 30Cm away you know it's going to be ... er, youthful! Up close it's like floral (think: pretty flowers) more than citrus - unexpected.
T- OMG! Er, dry rather than bitter grapefruit. Notable sense of citrus perfume. A few sips in it's dry enough to 'pucker me palate'.
F- Comes over as thin (light on body/ABV%) but IME that's because the citrus aspect is over-dominant. The same causes it to have an acidic aspect.
O- Totally hipster; citrus/citric hops over-dominate and nothing much else gets a look in, not even it's rye. Not for me.
Beer#2041. Bought from the superb Adnams shop in Norwich city centre. £1.89.

Can. Dark auburn. Thin head.
Smells of sweet caramel, fruity hops and grain.
Light pepper, toffee and malt biscuit flavour.
Medium bitter finish.
Average carbonation. Quite light.
Labelled as rye session ipa?
