Picked up growler. Pours a beautiful reddish copper with a nice wispy white crown.
Smell is incredible. Very floral hop profile. Not overwhelming with grapefruit. Pine and green hop buds.
Immediate hop rush makes your mouth come alive. Very hoppy in the flowery/earthy feel. Clean cracker malt is semi-sweet and in my opinion, near perfection to make the hop sparkle.
Mouthfeel is moderate and creamy with lower carbonation, enough to make this libation ever so crisp.
Tremendously tremendous! On-tap is the way to go for this one. This, to me, is pure hop juice. Probably the most hop forward brew I've had on tap next to Two Brothers Hop Juice Black. Gotta love that Illinois water. Absolutely incredible for style and well crafted. Awesome job!

Appearance: Incredible red-copper ale with excellent body/carbonation and a ton of tan foam/lacing.
Smell: Fresh pine and sweet caramel. Simple, but excellent balance.
Taste/Mouthfeel: Subtle fresh pine with caramel and a hint of orange. Good crispness in the mouthfeel:
Overall Drinkability: Reminds me of the red/amber ales from the Southwest. Superb.
