On tap. Clear amber golden with an off-white head. Fresh peachy aroma. Quite full-bodied, lots of caramel and fruit and again distinct peachy hops that leave a solid dose of bitterness. 080709

Tap at Blind Tiger. Hazy pale amber ber with a thin creamy white head. Aroma is lightly hoppy with a nice bright orange marmalade character. Lightly pithy bitterness on the back, but in general its quite nice. Soft palate with a light sticky resinousness toward the back. As it warms, it becomes more obviously fruity. Bitterness softens, with a lightly spicy herbal character to the hops. It’s a very lovely IIPA.

Tart musty fruits such as pineapple, mandarin oranges and lemons are present in the nose. Nicely balanced sweet citrus flavors with a mild tartness. Some green apple notes and a light unpleasent tinny character. Overall very tasty.
