Very piney hop aroma, malt is sweet but dominated by hops, very fresh and made with great care. Good and near great; the Goldings smooth the whole thing out nicely.

My memories are clouded by the un-air conditioned room, the flies, and the sweat in the summer. A plain IPA.

On tap at the brewery. Nice sweetness to the beer. Grapefruit slightly. The taste is greatly bitter but not overpowering. Not a bad smell (sometimes the Kraftbrau has this). Pale gold in color and quite clear. Very smooth for an IPA. This was very enjoyable. One of the best of this style I think.
