Arbitrage411 (73) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 25, 2021UPDATED: JUL 25, 2021 Light amber color under white mixture of fine and medium bubble head. Cloudy and an imperceptible active effervescence. Healthy lacing. They say it is very hoppy so that explains the fresh scents on the nose.
Mouthfeel is super bitter right from the get go. If you like IPA - then dead on here. With the different botanicals going in the hop varieties - one can only guess. And the tastes, likewise. Because of the very high ABV 11%, this makes up for any aftertastes (which there are) on the finish. Kinda takes any kind of pains(s) away.
