For somebody who doesn't love IPAs, I've spent a lot of time drinking them this Summer. Maybe I'm making a turnaround, or maybe I'm just trying to be thorough.
Either way, there's some cloudiness in all that gold when you pour it, but I've seen cloudier. The head is foamy and thick with decent lacing on the glass. On the nose, there's a light, fizzy citrus smell.
The citrus sourness I find common to a lot of IPAs is here, and that's not an aspect of which I approve, but apparently I'm in the minority. Still, that sourness doesn't destroy this brew, for there's plenty of citrus rind flavors that keep this one a pretty good IPA. Fans of lemon and grapefruit might like this one.
In the aftertaste, there is some bitterness, but it's not all that strong, slowly dwindling away after a few minutes. And perhaps oddly, I rather enjoy this aspect of this beer, not something I usually pay much attention to.
