Solid IPA! Slightly more malty than a true west-coast IPA, but the hop bill accommodates!

This one re-visits the west coast ipa trend that has since past in favor of NEIPAs. Prepare for a Maltier and heavier IPA with this one if you choose.

Pint on tap at the Saluda River Yacht Club (SC).
Copper body with a rather weak white head that leaves more lacing than expected.
Sweet, fruity and floral aroma.
The flavor is also quite sweet for style up front but it is moderately bitter by the finish, and the aftertaste carries plenty of bitter grapefruit notes.

12/30/17...Pours rusted amber with creamy white foam head. Heavy lacing. Toasted amber nose, very faint. Grassy. Malty open and an aggressive citrus hop. Some toffee sweetness pokes through. Fruit juice mouthfeel. Wonderful.
