4.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Little but pleasant aroma. Served in a tulip glass with an appealing visual. Taste is better than expected for this brewery. Hop is balanced well with a sweet ending. A good representation of a double IPA.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap. Pours a slightly hazy light-amber, good carbonation, and decent head. Big hop aroma, piney piney piney, yellow citrus, and a bit of gooseberry. Flavor is big hops up front and then smooth and sweet malt. Slight biscuit character, finishes with a smooth bitterness and dryness. Alcohol is well-hidden and it never comes across as ’hot’. Clean lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. Very good.
