Really liked the strong hints of honey or cover that reminds me of a mead and it also had a really nice mouthfeel. Overall very good and really well balanced.

 

A: Straw yellow with a thin, crisp head, settles slowly with minimal lacing
S: Fresh clean hops. Fruit forward with a hint of grass.
T: Grassy and earthy tones come through. Crisp, clean test with minimal biter finish.
M: light mouthfeel with loose carbonation.
O: A very delicious IPA, flavors and smell are not overly complex or bold but it makes for a very enjoyable and easy drinking beer. Very well polished for a relatively new brewery.

 

Decent creamy smaller head, nice lacing, clear pale honey color.

Nose brings bright hops, little pine sap, little resin, orange cream with light zest, mild tropical almost generic tropical with touch of mango adds even pineapple in the background, faint backend malt.

Taste brings a musty thing, with a strange malt flavor I can't nail down, little an earthy toasted cracker, into grassy floral hops, little herbal tea, pine sap resin, light citrus orange peel sap, sticky resin, faint mango rind. Finish is sticky but a bit on the drier side, more mild pine resin and herbal hops lingering. A fruity bubblegum late in the background.
Mouth is med bod, nice carb, hint sticky resin feel.

Overall decent, nice nose, dropped a bit on the flavor but not too much. Def has some potential, esp if that malt profile is tweaked a bit I think, and the hops lose a bit of the pine sap and bring more of the mango rind and bubblegum fruit forward, this will be a solid IPA.
