Undated 12 oz bottle believed to be very fresh.

Poured lightly hazy amber with a very durable head; superior lacing.

Plenty of hop (including Mosaic?) aroma and flavor. Has herbal, citrus and tropical fruit notes.

Feel: medium body with ~ perfect moderate carbonation.

O: with 4.9% ABV, this is pushing the up limits of "session" IPAs, but carries the full aroma and flavor expected in an IPA. Recommended and worth seeking out.

Pours a deeply toasted golden color, a little dirty, with a tight off white head that settles into a chunky ring with spotty lacing on the glass.

The aroma is hoppy with grapefruit and herbal notes from the amarillo and simcoe hops. Perhaps a touch of pineapple. Not much from the malt in the aroma.

The taste is more piney, herbal and dank in the taste. Seems the simcoe came to play. Multi-grain bread notes with a nutty, slightly buttery flavor. A metallic resiny bitterness in the finish. A very different type of session IPA. Quite piney and bitter.

The feel is moderate with prickly carbonation. Enough sweetness from the malt to slightly offset the bitter blast. Dry, chalky in the finish. A bit sticky on the lips for some reason.

A give props for the brewer making a piney session IPA. Wouldn't have guessed this to be a session IPA.
