Very yeasty IPA. Overall it wasn't what I was expected, however, it has a special character that I am sure some beer lovers would really like. I feel like this is a IPA/saison beer. Not my favorite style, but worth a try.

Pours to a permanent head and ample lacing. Aroma is bready and hoppy. Flavor is a good balance of grain and hops, of a citrus or tropical flavor. Low bitterness. Mouthfeel is odd but I like it. Good one.

From the 12 fl.oz. bottle. Sampled on May 5, 2015.
Very heady orange amber pour. Leaves a lot of lacing.
The aroma has this sort of overripe fruit character with toasted biscuits. Citrus hops maybe.
The body is light to medium.
The taste is a yeasty, malty, cantaloupe thing. I believe I had an older bottle so perhaps my experience was as good as it could have been.

A one- time try for me. Not as drinkable as I was hoping to experience based on the look and smell. Held a really nice head to the last sip.. but a little too bitter for me.

Not bad. Distinctly Kuka. Really just a bigger version of APA. stickier hops in the nose, more caramel on the tongue. Light body but not dry, slight astringency. good length. Cant find the maca. not bad
