atpsynthase (238) - SINGAPORE - AUG 1, 2022UPDATED: AUG 1, 2022 1 pint bottle. Pours a clear gold to amber; just the right amount of white head; surprisingly low levels of hop aroma, should be mostly grapefruit and mango-ish; taste of quite sweet malt, balanced and firm but not overpowering resin at the finish. Low levels of carbonation and rather thick mouthfeel. Such a well-balanced IPA that's all perfect - these are definitely not easy to come by.

The aroma is medium in strength with mixed citrus and a bit of soapy cotton candy. The taste is a nice balance of grapefruit and pine with bitterness provided by lemon pith. The palate is a bit on the lighter side with soft carbonation. Finishes long and dry with a bit of lingering bitterness. Overall: Decent. I love revisiting an old classic and discovering that it is just as good as it ever was.
