Look - really nice golden copper with a nice white head and lacing
Smell - really nice blend of malts and hops. Traditional caramel malts with a nice citrus grapefruit with a slight pine
Taste - more pine than the smell with a citrus tone followed by some caramel malts, backwards than the smell
Feel - medium body slight syrup with a very light carb, could use more
Overall - pretty good ipa

Pours a deep amber almost iced tea color with a medium dense eggshell head.
Aroma is caramel malt, grapefruit, and pine.
Flavor is slightly sweet then balanced by a powerful grapefruit peel pine bitterness.
Medium body with lively carbonation.
Overall this is a pretty good IPA. Might pick it up if it’s the freshest option.
