Bought a growler of this tonight, I'll buy another. Nice lacing with classic radiant copper color. No chill haze, well crafted color. Poured into a tulip glass, dead nose though. If you try, you can smell the yeast but very little floral or hop notes move. You buy this beer for its smooth taste, but again a "beer bread" flavor is really prevalent, it's not really a complaint though. Maybe it was left on the trub too long, I'm having a hard time deciding if I taste soap or yeast on the finish? I want this beer to have a more aggressive ending. It's an IPA, so why am I tasting a Poilâne sourdough bite instead of a nice abrupt alkaline, cooper, and hops traditional IPA finish?
