Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a hazed orange-yellow color with a large head of white foam. The head has a great level of retention, fading over time and leaving a good sum of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is heavy of a bready and oaty smell mixed with aromas of pine and herbal hop. Along with these aromas comes some notes of grapefruit and a bit of grape and a touch of tropical fruits of papaya and mango, as well as a touch of white pepper.
Taste – The taste starts out with a very bready and doughy flavor matched with some sweetness of papaya, mango, and tangerine. There is a rather strong showing of a herbal and pine hop upfront, with these flavors remaining strong throughout. Flavors of yeast and white pepper develop on the tongue as the taste advances, and are accompanied by some flavors of oatmeal and wheat. Toward the end, some floral and grassy notes join in, leaving one with a somewhat dank, but thick taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is heavy and thick with a carbonation level that is moderate. For the mix of dank, malt, and sweet, the feel is pretty good and makes for a slow sipper.
Overall – A rather thick IPA with a good flavor and feel. Worth at least a try.
