Let's just get this right out of the way: thumbs waay the hell down on this. In fact, I'll even say this is nearly repulsive.
It does pour beautifully, and the aromas aren't bad--they make me think of malty-sweet IPA--but the flavor is utterly dominated by acrid, overused, non-complementary hops. It tastes like drinking a sludgy bag of boiled hop pellets, even though the body is nice (it's not sludgy at all).
And so, unfortunately, it's too much to handle in its current incarnation; however, if CM can revise their hop schedules so that it doesn't taste of concentrated grass, they may be on to something. I'll not be holding my breath though.
