<i>My Bottom Line:</i><br /> This outgoing India Pale Ale’s floral and orangey hop bouquet bursts from suave caramel maltiness until a sustained earthy, green hop bitterness tries to steal the show.<br /> <br /> <i>Further Personal Perceptions:</i><br /> -A veil of foam tops the cloudy amber.<br /> -The overall result is quenching even though it’s not that easygoing for the uninitiated.<br /> -The lean caramel sweetness develops peachy fruitiness as well (aided by the hops, I guess?)<br /> -The hoppiness is quite complex and not typical of American or English IPAs. It has as many herbal and wooden qualities as it is fruity, flowery and earthy. Intriguing!<br /> <br /> <b>On tap at the brewpub.</b>
