look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3

1/2 Gallon growler..

Appearance-a dark red ruby hue color with a decent yet unremarkable head, the head fizzles over with big busting carbonation and then dissipitates.

Smell-bitter hop aroma with grainy malt complimenting it fairly well, some alcohol, fiercely hoppy

Taste-potent hop florishes immediately, some malt but it is quickly knocked back, alcoholic burn as it brushes down with some final bitterness.

Mouthfeel-viciously hoppy, not for the weak palette, spicy hop bitterness as opposed to the Cascade flourish of their "Hopfest" I can't pinpoint what kind of hops they used. Not too bad.

Drinkability-very hoppy IPA, its good enough but weak palettes beware, this can be rough.

Overall-perhaps the hoppiest English IPA I've had to date. Like the hoppiness just wish it was more balanced. Decent version of an IPA

Serving type: on-tap
