Victory Brewing Company 4 Front American IPA at 5.5% ABV (US$2.52 at Specs Main Houston, 355 ml, best before 16-May-2018, acquired 3-Mar-2018, reviewed 4-Mar-2018)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale gold with a short, short-lived off-white head, minimal lacing. (3/5) Aroma: mild, citrus, earthy pine, crackery malt. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, off-dry short duration finish. (4/5)
It might be a bit harsh to call this “bland”, but one could go with “easy-drinking”, “mild”, “pleasant”, or any other number of middle-of-the-road adjectives that really amount to the same thing: damning with faint praise. It’s OK. I was thirsty. Now I’m not. Result, I guess? (14/20)
