Crowler, two days after pour:
Pours a mostly clear, very lightly hazed golden color. A nice frothy head lasts pretty well. Lacing is in sheets early, and ends in dry sponge splotches.
Nose is tropical - not too juicy but with a fructose-like sweetness. This is countered by a a scent that indicates some of the fruit has been left on the counter just a tad too long. There's much lighter hints of peppery herbs and maybe even a little pine needle.
I recall this beer being a little more fruity in the sample size we had at the brewery. This pour has a mix of melon, mango, and papaya but not as sweet as I was expecting from the nose. There is a little bite that doesn't seem to all be coming from the moderately soft carbonation. A little tangerine comes though mid-taste, muted by a pithy balancing bitter note. The back end works itself into a mix of tangerine and tropical (still nothing in-your-face), and eventually a little pine bitterness sneaks into the lead. A lingering peppery note also crosses the finish line.
A more balanced IPA, but it is definitely an IPA. This one isn't clobbering you with bitterness or squirting juice in your face, but it has a subtly interesting hop profile and remains easy to finish and refill your glass.
