A vigorous pour yields a slightly cloudy (chill haze) with about a half glass of white, meringue foam. Retention is really nice while lacing begins without even tipping the glass: spiderwebs abound.
Aroma is hop centric. Floral and citrus with a twist of orange and sweetness for some balance. Light.
Taste is hops up first with floral and citrus hitting the taste buds. The middle brings on sweetness and a build up of bitterness to the end and into the finish that isn't overly harsh or over bearing for the beer. Some spice does add to the finishing hops.
Body is medium with ample, well balanced carbonation.
Not your perfect IPA but damn fine. I could have done without the spice bittering hops but I guess that would make it more like everyone else's, lol. I definitely would have this again, especially when it is warmer. Enjoy!
