Bright lemon citrus nose, orange gold with a heavy creamy lacing. Strongly bitter, little aspirin, green leafy midpalate, thick dry cotton finish. strong lingering resin tingle

Draft @ Beveridge Place: Big citrusy hop nose with a lighter body and a sticky bitter finish. Golden color and a light white head. The hops come out like straight ascedic acid, lemony and brash, but they mellow into the light malts and thin body of the beer. Quite a bit different than the pro-am imperial IPA and fun to drink side by side.

Nose is a blast of earthy hops - wood and some grass with a good deal of citrus - grapefruit as well as some pale malt sweetness. Pours golden amber with a decent head and solid lace. Bright and hoppy with the afformentioned aromas turning into a flavor profile with a solid base malt sweetness. Long lingering bitterness - resiny, dry, and sharp. Enjoyable.
