This is actually quite sweet which is no surprise given the name. Does has a saltwater taffy taste that leans towards vanilla mainly, a sugary (lactose brewed) sweet taste and, of course, salty. Nothing else to it. Overall a 2 but given it was a “saltwater taffy” brewed IPA, it did hit the mark candy wise, so went 2.5. Has nothing from an IPA perspective tho. Was worth trying but will not drink another one (ever again).
