  • Pours clear. Foam is light tan to off-white about an inch thick. Frothy. Great retention that immediately creates frothy, thick and sticky lacing.

    Aroma is caramel malt and pine and citrus hops. Straight forward. Unfortunately deep wafts produce hints of alcohol.

    Taste is sweet throughout: caramel and toffee, possibly hints of darker sweet malts as well. Citrus, specifically grapefruit, and pine take over in the middle, cooperating to create a good, lingering bitterness.

    Medium to light end of high body. Complimentary carbonation. Dry.

    A throw back type of IIPA: bitterness reigns. Good flavor and aroma but a couple minor issues: aroma of alcohol and good, linger bitterness. Still, an above average beer. Enjoy!
