A: Pours a clean medium golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate amber + brassy + copper + bright yellow colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall sudsy foamy bright white head that slowly reduces to a couple of small patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of mottled very thin film covering the majority of the remainder of the surface of the beer (roughly 95%) and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass., Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of pine + woody + floral + citrus/grapefruit hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of biscuit + toasted + caramel malts with a light amount of caramel sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of biscuit + toasted + caramel malts with a light amount of caramel sweetness. That is followed by slightly stronger than moderate flavors of pine + woody + floral + citrus/grapefruit hops which impart a light to moderate amount of lingering aggressive bitterness.

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

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly crisp yet slightly soft mouthfeel. Enjoyable albeit interesting hop profile - the woodiness is somewhat unique in a West Coast Style IPA but enjoyable.
