Poured from a can into a pint glass

Appearance – The beer pours a deep golden color with a one finger head of white foam. The head has a good level of retention, fading over time to leave a good sum of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.

Smell – The aroma of the brew is very strong of a caramel smell mixed with some other aromas of a bready smell. Along with these aromas comes some notes of a grapefruit hop and a bit of light tropical fruit smells of pineapple and tangerine.

Taste – The taste begins with a somewhat more crisp cracker taste mixed with some flavors of a light caramel malt and a little bit of tropical fruit sweetness. At the start there is some of the grapefruit hop taste was detected in the nose. As the taste moves forward however, the hop profile changes a bit with it transitioning more toward an herbal and pine hop taste. The pine flavors really amp up in intensity toward the end, and with the other tastes leaves a rather dry and crisp dank hop flavor to linger on the tongue.

Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is average to a bit lower in thickness and creaminess with a carbonation level that is average as well. The feel is very nice for the dank hop and crisp malt of the brew.

Overall – A nice, more dank and crisp IPA. Rather enjoyable overall.
