Pours with a very slight chill haze. Head is a half inch of white foam. Retention is poor as the foam disappears quite quickly. There is some wispy lacing.
Aroma is dank hops. Light undertones of sweet bread malt. Citrus and floral malts are dominated by pine. As it sits in the glass, the aroma darts toward straight dankness: overall hops are muted as individuals. Almost vegetal. Not my favorite aroma for an IPA.
Taste is dominated by hops, similar to the aroma. Pine once again is the flavor grabber. Citrus highlights with the finish bringing more pine and a solid bitterness.
Medium body or better that is almost thick for an IPA. Light end of medium carbonation but spritzy on the edges of the tongue.
Dank and vegetal hops are not my cup of tea. The larger body for an IPA feel didn't do it for me either. The taste was better for me than the aroma. I think it is a good IPA but not one that hits my niche. Enjoy!
