Poured clear with three fingers of fluffy, off-white foam. Okay retention with a little bit of retention.
Not a big sniffer but full of piney hops. There is some sweet malt in there but not too much. Really great aroma.
Taste of sweet malt up front with pine hops in the finish. Smooth finish without any hop aftertaste. Very good.
Medium body and carbonation. Really well balanced front to back.
One of the better IPAs I have had. I really found this one to be an easy drinker. If it wasn't for the ABV you could session the beer forever. Good stuff. Enjoy!
