Evil Twin Molotov Lite

We have here a beer that was quite the talk of the town when it hit the shelves. It was on tap at Acadia when I started working at that bar, earlier this summer. Never took notes, but I bought a 4-pack recently. Why not sit down with this final can and see what I have to say about it. Because I'm all about...timeliness...yeah....anyway...

Evil Twin Brewing Molotov Lite Imperial India Pale Ale. 8.5% ABV.

Lightly hazed, bright golden hue, large white, long-lasting head.

Boom! That's the stuff. In the nose, an explosion of pine, citrus, lemon, grapefruit, and a hint of the tropical here and there. Slightly sweet, while incredibly bitter. Love it.

In the mouth, pithy, pungent, powerful. Intense. Big, fat blast of happiness. Bristling bolts of bitterness. Citrus-y sensations. Long astringency, lengthy finish. It's every thing you want. Damn. You can't not love it. Just flat out delicious.

I will drink this again and again.

They've got some great gobbledygook, let's look at it: "Back in the days, only uncomplicated and tasteless beers existed and people started feeling bored before happy hour was up. Molotov Lite is an understated tour de force in rebellious happens, it's a subtle spark for action and yet by far one of the most anti-authoritative beers ever made."

Anti-authoritative? Did they mean to write that? What could that possibly mean. Does it espouse willful ignorance, or...ah, I'll let it go.
