Decent, not great. Pours somewhat hazy yellow with a thick white head that fades quickly. Aroma is hop floral and a bit orange. Taste is bitter citrus. More bitter than the look would suggest. Feel is good, a fair amount of carbonation in there. Overall a solid IPA.

 

 

On tap, served in a mason jar at Route 66 Smokehouse in FiDi.

The appearance is hazy and opaque reddish-apricot, the smell almost reminds me of fresh apple cider.

Taste follows the smell, with a very nice balance of pine with citrus, particularly grapefruit flavors, and a mild hoppy finish.

Its haziness and fruitiness reminded me a lot more of a NEIPA than an American IPA. Very smooth and drinkable: I’d have it again.

 

 

 

A: Pours a hazy medium golden apricot in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate medium golden yellow + peach colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall dense sudsy foamy white head that slowly reduces to a large patch of slightly mottled thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of citrus/orange and pine hops over the top of just shy of moderate aromas of pale malts with minimal amounts of sweetness.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of pale malts with minimal amounts of sweetness. That is followed by slightly stronger than moderate flavors of citrus/orange and pine hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which does not linger for too long.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly soft/fluffy with a hint of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink and enjoyable with well hidden alcohol and a pleasant mouthfeel.

A: The beer is very hazy yellow in color—almost resembling a New England IPA—and is too hazy to see if there is any visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head.
S: Moderate aromas of orange citrus and pine are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell, having flavors of citrus and finishing with notes of pine. There is a moderate amount of bitterness.
M: It feels just about medium-bodied and crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This IPA is quite flavorful and doesn't feel that heavy on the palate, which could be considered sessionable.

Serving type: can
