On-tap at Haymarket. Served in a 4oz taster glass.

A - Looks nearly identical to Mathias Jr. Maybe a bit more lace.

S - The Citra hops are more front and center here compared to its bigger brother. Lots of tropical fruits, zesty citrus, and a bit of dank earthiness as well. Malt character is more understated - minimal sugar flavor present and no booze either.

T - Taste is zesty citrus, tropical fruits, and tangerines filling things out. Tastes nearly identical to the aroma actually. More of a West Coast beer than regular Mathias, as the malt character is largely in the periphery. Bitterness is surprisingly low.

M - Carbonation is a bit more restrained thankfully. Body is medium, with an extremely dry finish, and again plenty of oily hop resins lingering.

D - I actually think this is the best of the Mathias line - it's lower in ABV and malt character, with an extremely dry, crisp finish. I think I'd prefer if they made this one the regular offering. In any case, recommended.

A - Orange yellow beer with a white head that left some very spaced out, but awesome, random lace on the side.

S - Tropical fruit, touch of pine resin, malt sugar backbone. Smells sweet.

T - Great tropical fruit flavors and just the slightest bit of resin on the end. Some nice sugar backbone. It's sweet and full of flavor, yet drinks light and easy.

M - Slightly under carbonated. Lighter side of medium, clean finish.

O - Can crush this all day. Great flavor profile for a singe IPA. Great beer.
