Collaboration with Minor Key Brewing

Golden in hue, this IPA is light, bright and bursting at the seams with Mosaic and Cascade hops complemented with notes of peach, lemon verbena and fresh pine needle.

A: Pours a slightly hazy medium golden honey in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly along the edges of the glass and moderate medium golden yellow + brassy + apricot + bright yellow colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall dense sudsy foamy light beige head that quickly reduces to two medium to large sized patches of thick film (each covering a approximately 40% of the surface of the beer) and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of citrus/grapefruit pith, citrus/grapefruit rind, pine, and herbal hops over the top of moderate aromas of toasted + caramel + bready malts with a moderate amount of caramel sweetness.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of toasted + caramel + bready malts with a moderate amount of caramel sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of citrus/grapefruit pith, citrus/grapefruit rind, pine, and herbal hops which impart a moderate amount of aggressive bitterness.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly crisp upfront with a light amount of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol. Enjoyable and very much a throwback West Coast style IPA with the sweetness in the malts and the aggressive bitterness. Would definitely get this one again.
