4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Thanks to the chaps who let me try this one. You know who you are...Nose is full of fresh hops. Some grassy, citrusy, and pine-laden hops with some light fruity tones in the background. Spigot water and fresh outdoor aromas waft out of this brew. The taste is very similar with a slight caramel malt to help balance out the fresh, in your face hops that make this one so good. Balanced and an American hop lover’s dream.

This IPA was great. Aromas held promise, giving off a pungent aroma that was floral and spicy. Hops were rich and bittersweet, while a near-perfect malt finish created the perfect balance.
