Pour
A half pinky of a white creamy head formed.Look
It wasn't very carbonated.Very cloudy.
There was a lot of stuff floating around.
Aroma
Grapefruit, mango, other citrus. Very pungent. Very delightful.Taste
Very citrusy. none of the normal funky Simcoe flavor.Over time, my palette does get fatigued. However with a few minutes between sips, my palette remains fresh.
Verdict
This is a very good, flavorful, IPA. For $4.49 per 22oz bomber, I would definitely buy this on a regular basis.Rating
Based on the style, I'd give this beer a "A"
