A: Pours golden amber with a frothy off white head that settles to a thin layer and leaves some light lacing.

S: Fruity, almost tropical, citrus, pine, light herbal notes, crackery malt, and some caramel sweetness.

T: Pine, citrus, grapefruit, lemon, a hint of orange, a little tropical fruit, faint dank herbal notes, crackery malt, and a little caramel sweetness.

M: Medium body, moderate carbonation.

O: If there's one thing Knee Deep knows it's hoppy beers, so of course a fresh hop IPA from them will be tasty.

 

On tap at the Apex.

The beer pours a peachy orange color with pretty decent head retention and lacing. The is earthy and complex, as I pick up celery root, light onion, and a hint of tropical fruit. The flavor profile replicates the nose pretty closely in this. IPA, though there's a bit more tropical fruit, and I pick up some pepper as well. The finish is dry and pretty bitter, with a touch of heat from alcohol. Mouthfeel is fairly full for an IPA, and the finish is long and fairly bitter.

Interesting IPA from knee deep, but not one of their better ipa efforts, IMHO.

 

Pours clear, gold in color, with 1/4 inch head. Taste is wet hops, lemon, and a touch of passionfruit. Medium bodied and slightly bitter. Really nice IPA. I prefer others in the style, but this one is good.

 

Super floral IPA with not much resiny hop aggression or aftertaste. Really good and not a hop bomb.

 

On-tap 6/21/2016 at Flynn’s in Mansfield, MA, served in a tulip glass.

A: The beer is a deep golden brown color, with a large off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.

S: The aroma contains caramelized malts, fruity citrus and floral hops.

T: The taste starts out sweet with flavors of caramel and citrus. Then a strong but not over-powering hops presence comes in. The malt character is hearty but not too heavy and brings a good balance. The after-taste is slightly sweet and slightly hoppy.

M: Crisp and smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.

O: Tasty, goes down easily, not too filling, good kick, good representation of style, this is a solid IPA to drink for a while.
