Yup, still more hoppy than anything else. Like a light IPA more than even a typical IPL flavor.

Yes,a bit strange and bitter but still refreshing and light on a summer afternoon. Err morning. Right.

Spicy finish was interesting the first few sips but it would get tiring after half a glass. Otherwise not a bad flavor.

Lifecycle of a sip: all malt -> all hops -> all that remains is bitterness, with big walls in between.
