Extremely hoppy. Some floral and citrus notes. Hops linger for quite a while. Really feel the alcohol, wouldn’t want more than 1 or 2 of these.

Pale yellow filtered with moderate carbonation four fingers of off white head.
It smells like nothing. Has a hint of grapefruit pith.
And the taste is of light grapefruit and pine.
Light body and Heavy carbonation.
I got this on the East Coast and drinking in Redding, July 30, 2020. It’s pretty decent, but the name seems misleading.

12 oz bottle with a 28 January 2020 bottling date stamp on the label, served in a lager glass.
Pours with a clear, dark, amber colored body topped by a creamy beige head that has good retention.
Aroma: Hoppy but mild
Flavor. A pleasant surprise given the mild aroma. This is a bold IPA with a generous malt load that results in an ale that could readily be mistaken for a fine DIPA. At 7%,the ABV leans towards the DIPA category too. Nicely balanced, the bitterness picks up in the finish but not so much as to leave an unpleasantly bitter aftertaste.

Sampled from draught at Borefts 2019. Pours a clear deep golden color and an off white head with a small layer retention. Aroma's of hops, resin, fruit confit. Retronasal it's resinous hops, bitter, fruity. Flavor is moderate bitter and light sweet. Medium bodied. Finish is rather bitter. Nice old school IPA.
