4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at Equinox. Pours hazy dark golden orange with a white head that goes to a thin film that laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet sugary tropical fruits.
The flavor is sweet tropical fruits (tangerine?) with a decent resiney bitter finish. As it warms fruits fade and biscuit malt comes in, lowering it some IMO. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with low but smooth carbonation.
Overall, this is fruitier than most IPAs I’ve had (and more so than I remember it from before), but it still has some nice resiney hop bitterness. Really well balanced! I really liked it at first but as i drank it, some of the bright fruitiness faded lowering it some but still a great beer.
