Back Bay Brewing Co.

Good IPA from a local brewery!! Poured from a 16 oz can into a pint glass, this beer featured a medium sized foamy white head and a clear gold color. The last pour resulted in a more hazy appearance. Head retention was very good and there were some thin bands of lacing on the glass. Aroma and taste included some resiny, piney hops and a lesser amount of grapefruit and tropical fruit. These are balanced with some dry biscuity malt. Good flavor and moderate bitterness. Mouthfeel is crisp and fairly light with some resiny aspects. The bitterness level is fine and there is no annoying alcohol presence. A solid AIPA.

I am trying a pint of this beer off the tapper at The brewery. It poured a hazy orangish with thin white head that is leaving some nice lace. The scent had citrus peel and pine notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with crisp malt base and bitter fruit and pine resin presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.
