Jan 6, 2010 A quality IPA with enough hop aroma and flavor to satisfy this hophead, although the iced tea-like sweetness could have been knocked down a few notches. The aroma explodes with a heavy dose of citrus and piney delight, with a semi-sweet malty note. Piney and floral hops punch the tastebuds around with enough force, it’s quite the enjoyable IPA but the iced tead does show up. A very enjoyable IPA, and one I would like to try from a cask.
