Tap @ brewery. Pours copper with thin white head. Aroma of floral hops, some caramel notes, malts and syrup like sugar. Taste, had just plenty of hops - floral notes, with some light grapefruit presence and some spices. Balanced with malts and caramel giving the beer a syrupy / sugar mouthfeel.

On tap at the brewery. It poured hazy orange-ish copper with gold edges and nearly a bright white head. Served up a bit warmer than the usual frigid pours. Still comes across too cold for the style. The aroma has sweet malts, a touch of caramel and modest citrus. The taste begins with a mix of sweet malts, crystal malts, grapefruit and tangelo bitter citrus hoppiness. As midway is being considered the various malts fall back to reveal an increasing level of citrus hop bitterness. Caramel sweetness and a modest amount of roasted malts hang on into the finish. It ends pretty neutral with lingering citrus hops and mild dry roasted malt astringency creating a pleasing balance to a beer style defined by its lack of balance. It comes up well short of pushing the limits of the style but its malt chewiness and hop presence puts it into the IIPA category. Fully sessionable and very satisfying brew.
