Back in the ’90s, this dry piney citrus embittered West Coast-like India Pale Ale would be encouraging streamlined mainstream fodder bettering nearly all the previous stylistic pretenders excepting maybe Ballantine IPA and few others. But in 2022, its lemon-pitted grapefruit pith bittering, mild orange rind dehydration and dry wood tones seem limited compared to expansive milkshake, New England-styled and sour IPA’s. Nice citrus-induced vodka kick, though.
