A good strong malt and a very hoppy little brew, but that’s what and IPA should be. Very refreshing, if you like hops.

Super nice deep golden bronzed color, clouded with a suspended jelloy haze, finger high head of thick and fluffy yellowish creamyness, fades to a skim always present and lace in stringy broken sheets. Aroma is freshly hopped with some nice citrusy strong pine, highly floral and sweet with a toasty malt backing. Taste is quite nice of floral, cirtusy strong hoppyness, highly crisp and grapefruit peel bitterness, super toasty malt backing with a slight burntness adding to the hop edge which really pokes the palate and lasts throughout a substantially long finish of crispy floral dry bitterness. Yum! Feel is pretty darn full from start to finish and has a whopper of a lingering finish. This IPA is super tasty and has a great floral hop ride, the fullness is a little much and makes for a bit of an overwhelming drinkability, could be smoother in that realm, but otherwise one hell of an IPA by Mercury.

Nice cloudy amber color with a decent head. Flowery, fruity and hoppy, an overall very addictive IPA. I usually shy away from IPAs, but this is the brew that just might convert me. Got it in the "Yacht Club Mix" gift pack. If this is the kind of beer you serve on a yacht, I gots to get me a yacht.
