Molasses and Caramel malty flavor, with a great IPA bitterness. Not too heavy but just right for an IPA.

Bottle. Poured a very murky copper color with a thick white head and the most sediment I’ve ever seen in a beer (which is a positive for me). Strong lacing. Aroma is very hoppy and citrusy. Mouthfeel is very nice. Flavor is a rush of hops and grapefruit. Bitter finish. This beer was a lot better than I expected. Solid beer.

It appeared very dark with little head. It smelled hoppy and perhaps a hint of citrus. The taste reflected the smell pretty well. It was quite heavy, perhaps one of the heaviest IPAs I’ve experienced. The Sacred Cow was good, but heavy enough that it keeps it quite a sipper.

This is a really good IPA. More malty than most IPAs, but really tasty. Cask conditioned and hand pumped. :)
