From notes at the brewery: An India Pale Ale that explores a single hop variety and showcases the aromas, flavors and bittering qualities that are unique to each strain. This time around we explored the "NUGGET" hop. A spicy, yet floral hop used primarily for bittering & flavor. 7.0%ABV 90+ IBU's

A Translucent brown, kind of boring really. 2.0

S Nice floral hop smell. The bitterness is there but there is a nice floral, almost sweet smell to it. 4.0

T Hops bitterness is in front for sure, minimal malt to balance it out makes this one bitter beer. 3.5

M Moderate as the body itself is father thin but the hops build up the feel. 3.0

D Not that good in this unbalanced IPA. 2.0

Notes: I really do appreciate the effort of the brewery to feature a single hop as it allows the taster to really experience that particular hop. This beer was too unbalanced for my tastes.
