Sparkling apple juice body with frothy white head. Aroma is mild, medium sweet, apple juice, cookie dough. Taste is medium sweet, floral/herbal, cookie dough. Finishes with solid herb/earthy bitter, laced with a bit of buttertscotch. Light-medium body, muted carbonation. Quite drinkable. Very enjoyable, though rather unusual, IPA.

Bottle… Hazy, yellow ale with a large, frothy, off-white head. Great retention. Lots of tea and butterscotch in the aroma. The flavor has great balance. Malty, but moderately bitter with notes of grapefruit rind, black tea and a whisper of sea salt. Full-bodied with lively carbonation. Finishes bitter, grassy and dry. Thanks go out to growler for sharing!

Bomber brought from Charlottesville by Josh - Thanks! Medium amber color with a very slight white head. Aroma is mostly floral/citric hop. Medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is floral hop, so it’s not all that bitter. Finish is dryish, smooth and a bit oily. Leaves bitterness around the tongue edges. Certainly not your typical NW hophead IPA, but I think there’s more hop in here than it’s getting credit for. Otherwise I think I’d be getting a lot stronger dose of malt.
