HopFly Brewing Co.

A: Pours a very slightly hazy medium golden honey in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate bright yellow + apricot + peach + pale orange + golden yellow colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall sudsy foamy light beige head that slowly reduces to a handful of small patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of mottled very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate to significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of spicy + citrus/grapefruit pith + tropical/pineapple + pine hops over light to moderate aromas of biscuit + toasted + grainy malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of biscuit + toasted + grainy malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of spicy + citrus/grapefruit pith + tropical/pineapple + pine hops which impart a slightly stronger than moderate amount of aggressive lingering hop bitterness.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp upfront with a light to moderate amounts of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly crisp + dry mouthfeel as well as lots of aggressive bitterness. Enjoyable with a more classic West Coast IPA hop profile. Nice bitterness.
