Bottled. Slight hazy amber color, medium off-white head. Aroma of flowery hops, bit grassy, slight citrus, reminding me of pure amarillo or cascade flowers which I used myself in a homebrew, before boiled with the beer. Nice thick creamy texture. Decent bitter taste, quite dry. Bit sweetish note to it, firm pale malt body, bit cookie and candy sweetness. Very malty. Especially flavor and mouthfeel speak out on this IPA, a style that usually tends to be more watery and focused on hopbitterness.
