Pocked, rimming snowy head over pale hazy amber.
Peach and tangerine nose with some yeasty tang and grain sack.
Husky grain and a bit of apricot with pine, tart clementine, and herbal hops.
Lemon rind end and harshly bitter linger.
Light, crisp, slight chew, creamy.

bottled March 29

Grainy and lean, which serves to accentuate the high (for an APA) strength. IBUs seem OTT just to prove a point. Could up the aroma to be more drinkable.

The rare case of an APA that is actually an IPA.

Light brown body with huge foaming white microscopic bubbled head

Big grapefruit kick in the aroma

Burned sugar, citrus and a huge bitter kick in the flavour department with a chewiness

quite a thick mouthfeel great carbonation

Good stuff all round, well worth a try
