  • A: Golden without any imperfections, very clear. Some off-white foam head that leaves just a foam ring around the glass, soon after pouring.

    S: Definately a nice citrusy blast. A tad astrigent is the only thing that takes it off the mark from perfection.

    T: Bright tastes of grapefruit and other tropic's. Slight hop bite, though not over-done. Very much holds the malt in check. Not too thick as some powerful IPA's can be. The mouth-feel and carbonation are good. Nice after-taste, a lingering citrus.

    O: Powerful ties to West Coast, and no doubt FFFs influence. That's all meant as a compliment. I understand why folks in Ohio chase after this brew from a small operation. If I had a "suggestion" on the taste profile, it would be to slightly dial down the bittterness just a little. But, don't misunderstand, this was a great beer.

  • Pours ridiculously clear with minimal white foam that has no staying power. Very spotty lacing that falls back to level.

    Aroma is full of tropical and mango hops. There is a touch of dank hops toward the end, polished off by a very slight graininess.

    Taste is a touch of sweet with grain in the middle to the end. The middle also brings on the hops. Tropical at first, highlighted by mango, giving way to a bitterness that is fueled by grapefruit.

    Light body with a high medium carbonation that gives it minimal size.

    A solid first offering for me from the Brew Kettle. Citra hops make everything better but eventually it will come full circle. Only gripe: bitterness seems a little harsh. Enjoy!
