Thanks go out to Mikegroove for this unexpected bonus in a recent package. 1 pint can.
Slightly murky, darkish orange pour with a VERY impressive head and some of the best lace I have seen in ages – amazingly thick and sticky.
Nice hoppy nose.
The taste invokes some serious dry bitterness from the hops. The malts that are advertised on the can are frankly not particularly apparent. Lingering bitterness. Plenty of citrus pine, but it slightly lacks the fresh, edgy nature of some similar, west coast hop bombs. Metallic nature as well.
This looks good, and it is very tasty, but it is pretty harsh and lacks the clean edge of some hop bombs of a similar ilk. High quality brew and a nice treat, but I don’t think I could make this a regular in the rotation.
