A more traditional West Coast IPA malt bill with this take on Transparency that is anchored by copious use of the Pink Boots hop blend ($3 from every box of hops was donated to the Pink Boots Society). It's a great crisp IPA with assertive bitterness but not lacking in hop aroma or flavor. You get the perfect balance of piney and dank with mango and citrus for a well-balanced and easy-drinking IPA.

A: Pours a clear medium copper in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass and moderate honey + burnt orange + medium golden yellow + caramel colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy dark beige head that slowly reduces to a couple of small to medium sized patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate to significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of citrus/grapefruit + tropical/mango + dank resinous + pine hops over the top of just shy of moderate aromas of toasted + caramel + bready malts with a light to moderate amount of caramel sweetness.

T: Upfront there are just shy of moderate flavors of toasted + caramel + bready malts with a light to moderate amount of caramel sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of citrus/grapefruit + tropical/mango + dank resinous + pine hops which impart a light to moderate amount of lingering aggressive bitterness.

M: Light to medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly crisp initially with a light to moderate amount of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a crisp refreshing mouthfeel with just enough old-school West Coast aggressive bitterness. Very enjoyable.
