They say that this is an “ale brewed with orange and lemon peels,” and I suppose, if we take them at their word about using peels (rather than zest), that we can extrapolate an amount of citrus flavor from the finish, which is bitter in much the same way that citrus peels are bitter. The finish smooths out as the beer warms, but I never get the bright citrus flavor that makes me think of zest. I am beginning to believe that I have tried too many IPAs—that I have perhaps become desensitized to the style; this is an excellent beer (as are the other WarPigs joints I have tried), but I am unimpressed. I hope that this is a temporary sensation. (I also hope that pink-clad idiots being instructed by their social media masters to go see a bubble gum movie they have no hope of understanding is also a temporary sensation—and that all of them die screaming in a fire, hopefully on their way home from the movie, before they have a chance to reproduce and pox the world with their monosyllabic hellspawn.)
