Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a clear golden amber color with a small head of white foam. The head fades slowly over time leaving a good amount of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is quite light, being strongest of a herbal and grapefruit hop smell mixed with other aromas of pine and a very light cracker malt.
Taste – The taste begins with a crisp cracker malt flavor matched with a touch of tropical fruits and a decent showing of a herbal and pine hop. As the taste develops forward, some hay and must come to the flavor profile as well as a little bit of a grapefruit hop. There is some light floral notes that develop more toward the end, combining with the rest to leave a rather crisp taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is light and crisp with a carbonation level that is moderate to slightly higher. For the drier nature of the brew the feel is rather well done, making for a refreshing but flavorful sipper.
Overall – A rather nice crisp IPA with an overall well blended hop character. A good flavorful brew for a spring/summer day.

 

Pours a clearish corn husk yellow, foamy head from a can, slightly malty mostly citrusy hop aroma. Flavor is unoffensive but tastes powerfully of hops. It has a nice full citrus finish which turns to a malty sweet flavor and then back again to a mild/medium aftertaste of crips hops.

Overall, easy drinking "Cold" IPA that would go very good with a plate of hot wings. 3.38 rounded up to 3.5
