The hazy, bright gold
beer poured with a thick miasma of eggshell head. Through that fog, the
aroma proved to be quite rich in fruit, as well as pretty sizably
hoppy. The flavour was bitter first, but contained nuanced fruit
elements--orange and grapefruit, chiefly. The finish came through as
sweet in stages, but mostly curt and bitter.

IPA was an odd duck of an IPA. Its flavour didn't possess a lot of
depth--rather, it was assertive and blunt, with a shortage of flair.
However, for all of that, there was an undercurrent of complexity that
made me really glad to have purchased a 4-pack of cans. By the end of my
fourth can--spread over two nights--I was pretty much convinced that
there was an intangible element that made this beer stand out in a
crowded scene. I'd have enjoyed a bit more bombast and a bit more
developed denouement, but it did have a certain quality that all but
assures I'll revisit this little number.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
