Genuinely impressive. Great aroma with nice citrus notes and a touch of floral, well balanced without being overpowering. Where a lot of AF IPAs fall down is body and finis; this one doesn't. It's got real weight on the palate and the taste actually lingers after swallowing rather than vanishing, which is exactly what you want from a full-strength IPA and rarely get at 0.5%. Bitterness gives it that classic ale character, though it edges towards a touch too much for my personal palate, worth noting that's a subjective call and IPA fans who like it bitter may love this even more for it. A proper session AF IPA! Easy to drink several without it getting boring, and one of the better AF IPAs I've tried.
Who's rating it - and what they think
A "tastes just like it" from someone three years sober and a "tastes just like it" from a curious wine drinker are not the same thing. That's why we split it out.
