Mound Builder IPA CAN

Pale amber color, brilliantly clear. Pours a moderate sized white head, creamy and with good retention.

Has some decent malt in the aroma, and a gentle hop aroma with some citrus and pine.

Flavor follows the aroma...some caramel malt sweetness followed by a slug of old school citrus/pine/earthy hop flavors. Has some decent bitterness in the finish, fitting with it being a more traditional IPA. Bitterness lingers into the finish and turns unpleasant.

Medium body and med-high carbonation. A bit drying on the tongue. This with the lingering, unpleasant bitterness has me wondering if there could be some oxidation. Not sure.

Aside from the unpleasant aftertaste, is a fairly classic IPA. Big malt and hops, and assertively bitter.
