Enjoy By IPA

From a 2012-12-21 bottle. Pours clear with a half inch of white foam. Retention is normal at best while lacing leaves little to talk about. Aroma is a bit beat down. This beer isn't at its prime. The hops, which you can tell were the highlight of the beer, have started to fade, leaving vegetal, dank hops in their wake. Citrus, floral and possibly pine hops were here once upon a time. Almost no sweetness. Taste follows the nose. Little in the way of fresh hops. Hop oils breath deeply into the flavor. Bitterness is held in check, not killing the palate. Medium body with the oils adding. Carbonation is medium. Dry. Even though I drank it on the date it was too far gone. This one needs to be drank a week or two before the due date or suffer old hop wrath. Enjoy!
