Awesome beer. Nice hazy yellow with a thin layer of head, but good retention for what there was. I had a 6 oz. sample in my beer sampler.
Aroma was mostly sharp citrusy hops. They don't tell you what kinds they use, but that was the aroma result. Not a lot of malt, but with a good IPA you want it hop-forward.
Taste was quite bitter at first, with lots of alpha acids and citrus. Again, not much malt, but enough to play a supporting role and hold everything together. Also a strange combination... sharply bitter on taste, but smooth going down.
Overall a well made IPA and one I hope they only improve upon.
