Served on-tap at Al's of Hampden.
A - Pours slightly hazy golden yellow with a small half finger tall white head, quickly dissipating down to a very light film, leaving small streaks of lace on the sides of the glass.
S - Smells of fresh cut grass, pine resin and some tropical fruit being joined by some sweet caramel malt.
T - Starts off with lots of grassy hop bitterness and some mild pine and tropical fruit. Some light sweetness helps to even it all out. Finish is pretty bitter, lingering long after the finish.
M - Medium body with moderate carbonation. Smooth, bitter feel from start to finish. A tiny bit of booze burn at the end of each sip.
O - A nice nugget IPA. It packs a nice punch but it is still pretty drinkable. Not my favorite single hop but still solid.
