Pours clear with two inches of white, tight foam. Retention is above average with the foam leaving behind spider web like, sticky lacing.
Aroma is subdued hops: floral, citrus, and pine. Pleasant without one really taking the spotlight. I could have used a bit more on the nose unless the beer was a bit old. (?)
Taste has caramel and bread malt sitting behind a similar sheet of hops. Some bitterness in the middle through to the end with a bit of it lingering.
Light body with a prickly carbonation.
Only my second beer from Sand Creek, but I am definitely impressed. A quality IPA from the midwest that would be easy drinking anytime of the year. Enjoy!
