Had a pint at the brewery today while having lunch with Da Boss for $7.00.
Beer was served clear gold with a nice white head.
Nose was pretty good, hints of citrus come forward.
Taste was good, a nice start with a lighter malt base that displays the citrus and a touch of tropical hops nicely. Finishes with a nice piney hop; 7/10 on my bitterness scale.
Mouthfeel is extraordinarily light and clean for an IPA.
Overall a very nice underrated IPA!

On tap at brewery:
Maybe a bit more than a chill haze on this slight amber brew. The head at the taproom is a dense puck, and I’m getting striated lacing marks.
Malt opening with a slight honey sweetness, the carbonation on a cold beer is just on the aggressive side in this pour. Getting past that, there is a more classic pine hop profile, which brings a moderate plus level of bitterness.
Letting the beer warm before I could get to the aroma, I’m getting a sort of honey grain bread with some grapefruit rind and pine, but it isn’t as strong as I’d expect.

16oz can, wine glass, canned 4/13/21.
Nice clear golden beer topped with that papyrus crackly head of a good finger. Decent retention.
Sticky, lemon oil, papaya, yellow grapefruit.
Softer fruit flavors in the mouth. Lychee, papaya, a little lemon, and a dank undertone. Moderate hop bitterness with a bit of alcohol bitterness thrown in.
I would say this does qualify as west coast, however it’s not the grittiest one you’ll find. A little juicy, medium bitterness and medium-low dryness.
Front Royal is making some good beer and I can’t wait to try more West Coast IPAs from them.
