Um. So…my notes from the other night, when I tried one on tap at Pub by Novo in Bowling Green, say, “rolling bitter finish after a vaguely fruity taste up front. fruit is light and indeterminate.” This one, out of a can, in the friendly confines of my aboveground lair and poured into a mug from which so much paint has peeled in the last year and a half that it only barely resembles the Hog’s Head Inn souvenir I got at Universal Orlando, tastes pretty much exactly like the one I tried on tap a couple of days ago. If I actually tasted all of those things, and if it was, in fact, “dangerously drinkable,” then this would be an extremely excellent IPA. Alas…I do not taste those things, and at 7% ABV it is certainly not “drinkable,” whether “dangerously” so or otherwise. However…having said all that…I am coming to find that I can taste a hint of peach mixed in with that lingering bitter finish. It’s also maybe a touch smoother as it warms, but I don’t think that’s enough to reccomend it.
