A: Clear, bright orange/amber color. Poured a 2 finger rocky off-white head with good retention. Decanted lightly. LAced in wide rings.
S: Citrus and floral hops; also topical fruit and pine. Pale anad crystal malt in the foundation.
T: Crystal malt more prominent in the flavor. Hops come through as more of a resiny feel, rather than flavor, in the middle. Flavor a little disappointing after the nose.
M: Light to medium body. Moderate carbonation. Smooth and little resiny.
D: Fair IPA, just no holding power in the taste; finishes wanting.

Murky orange no foam. Fruity. Mango. Bitterness is abrasive as is mouthfeel as if chewing on fresh hops. Bit too much for me.

Poured on tap at BOS
A: Amber color, thin head
S: Lots of grain/malt with lighter herbal/citrus hop notes to accent
T: Matches the aromas: malt-driven with lighter generic hop notes complementing the malt
M: Medium-bodied
O: Being poured the brewery's airport location I thought this was served fairly warm. Maybe a bit better served colder but as is this is a malt-heavy generic ipa

Very good balance. I prefer more citrus in an IPA
