5oz pour at brewery in taster glass
L: Slightly dark, golden, a little orange tint, thin head, good lacing
S: Lots of hop aroma. Citrus and a bit floral.
T: Citrus hops mostly with a light floral spice and malt comes through, just barely
F: Comes off thin - it's there and home in an instant - almost flat.
O: Good hop aroma and some citrus on the palate, but overall, falls flat for me.

Great clarity, fantastic head and retention. Gorgeous beer overall. Nose is light - a bit of citrus and bitter hops present. Nice malt presence on the bill but a full load of hop bitterness and resinous qualities. Big and bitter for such a low ABV but a really nice entry into the IPL category.

Poured from a growler into an IPA glass. Mostly clear dark yellow in color. A nice floral fragrance. The taste is a balanced malty/hop taste. It ends with a slight bitter taste. For a session beer, this is ok.

Poured a dark gold, auburn tinted body with a little bit of head and lacing. Light bodied, crisp, easy to drink, has grainy aroma and taste with balance from sticky maltiness. Finishes dry and crisp thanks to bit of citric, bitter hops.

A bit too floral for my taste.
