Deep golden in color, almost amber like. Clear in appearance. Pine, pineapple and under ripe mango. Clean and dry finish. Fairly bitter. One of their better offerings.

From the brewery:
Deep golden IPA. Grainy malt balance with a hint of sweetness. Bracing carbonation & bitterness, hints of Caramel aroma.

I am told by the bar keep that this is beer being considered by another brewer as a contract brew.

Great bar poured head. It leaves a good blanket of lace. Dark gold color and nearly clear.

The aroma is piney with a touch of lighter malt.

The flavor is predominantly bitter from the start to the aftertaste. There's a pale malt background but it's subtle. Highly carbonated with a lighter body that doesn't quite create balance. Long aftertaste.
