India Pale Ale (IPA)

12oz single from Total Wine, Kennesaw, GA, USA.
Pour is great looking with a 1/2 inch dense white head, lovely light orange color, well carbonated and a nice amount of sticky lace. Promises much.
Sweet malts are the initial tastes. These fade to give the hop burst. Fresh and sharp, with a lingering bitter aftertaste that smacks of a little aspirin. I wouldn’t call it unbalanced, but I would prefer the malts to linger alongside the persistent bitterness. The finish is a little out of kilter.
Good quality American IPA, that gets a little too aggressive in the ending for me.
