Received in a trade with mmm///beer, so thanks bro. The beer was quite nice actually, with enough hops to satisfy this West Coast hop head. No it wasn’t a flat out assault on the senses, but subtley has it’s place and it had a place in this beer.

The beer poured out a clear, medium/dark amber color with a 2-finger light tan head. Aroma was mostly citrusy, slightly vegetative, a bit astringent, with a light toasted malt angle. Flavor had notes of citrus, a bit iced tea to it, some minor malt sweetness but the thing that suprised me at how dry it was, which really seemed to amplify the hoppage. Nice beer!

bottle thanks to mmm///beer. deep ruby color with a 1 finger cream head. great hoppy, citrusy and slight spicy scent. good thickness and a mild hop flavor that isn’t bitter.

Bottle via trade with mmm///beer. This brew pours a thick, hazy orange with a continual slow bubbling and a modest light head. The aroma is dominated by the hops, grapefruit and a sharp floral scent, with some sweet malt seeping through. The mouth feel is thick and fizzy, tickling the tongue. No definitive malt flavor shines through, but its sweetness adds some balance to the citric, earthy hop bitterness that takes over the taste. Nice bitter finish. Pretty good stuff.

Pours a transparent bright copper orange with a spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet toasty caramel malts with a touch of resiny, piny hops. Starts with good fullness and sweet crystal maltiness with a decent balance of piny bittering and flavor hops. Finishes with nice residual sweetness and a crisp bitterness. Certainly more on the maltier side of IPAs, but I like it.
