This is a moderate IPA across the board for the most part. The alcohol content is at 6.2%, not exactly light but not on the heavy side either for the genre. The flavours are biscuity and citric, but sit about middle of the road in terms of oomph. Where this beer makes it's presence felt is in the body and aftertaste.
It's slick and oily in the mouth, and the hopped finish is long and bitter. The after effects of the drawn out finish are harsh, like the morning after an atomic vindaloo curry. You might be thinking that these type of finishes are part and parcel with an IPA, which is true, but considering this is only a 6 percenter it could have been a lot smoother. Think back to Meatloaf's performance on Grand Final day.
All things considered, it is a decent IPA. The texture of the beer is great, the flavours are acceptable (however not amazing), but the tail is something that I endured rather than enjoyed.
6.5/10
