Pours a clear darker golden color with white head. Grass, hay, floral notes, and some light bread on the nose; follows onto the palate. Medium bodied. Finishes with plenty of malty flavors, bread, hay, cereal, and just a slight lingering pine note sneaks in.

Pale yellow in color. Clear in appearance. 2016 has a lot of black tea flavors. Some fruit, melon. Light bodied. Short, fading bitterness. It's ok.

A: Pours a golden orange color with 2 fingers of head that fades down to a solid cap that leaves some sticky lacing
S: Some candied hop and fruity notes up front along with some bready maltiness. Orange stands out amongst the candied hop notes
T: Follows the nose. Candied hops and fruity notes start things off, again with orange standing out. Light bitterness meets the moderate sweetness and balances nicely. Finishes with lingering light bitterness and candied hop notes
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation
O: A solid and easy to drink IPL that definitely leans on the Idaho 7 hops in comparison to the sterling and columbus. Worth checking out

From the 650 ml. bottle. No date. Sampled on September 9, 2016.
The pour is yellow to light amber with a long lasting white head.
The aroma is grainy malt forward for sure with a note of tobacco or herbal notes. Low to no hop profile but any hops I get are earthy.
Medium body. Relatively smooth.
I still pick up this pipe tobacco character in the taste with a mile overripe fruit hop finish that I did not expect. But it lingers some at the finish.
