After the utter mediocre Kona lager I'm hoping to get a bit more out of this, at least I don't have to worry about any skunkiness from a a badly stored bottle...
Waft of citrus and hops when pouring.
Long Hammer pours hazy floating sediment gold with a creamy white head, thin head all down the glass with good lacing. Quite weird at the start of the intake, as the sip hits the front of the mouth a good bit of bitterness is apparent then it mellows with malt, citrus and ends with a slightly peppery mild bitter finish. Floral hops and citrus peel linger in the long aftertaste. Good light to silky mouthfeel and no alcohol shining through.
I have a confession to make, I actually looked this one up while in the supermarket which I don't normally do before buying, is that not what smartphones are for ?, which resulted in the impression of an average IPA. I wish I looked up the Kona ! Anyway, I disagree as I think this is a good bit better than average. To me it is a very nice IPA and quite refreshing. I have no problems with buying or drinking another.
