look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

Growler poured into shaker pint.

A- Cloudy copper orange with big off-white head. Not much lacing.

S- Nice smelling. Not as much hops as expected. Big toasted malt.

T- Taste follows nose. Pretty hoppy, but definitely the malt takes over and have created a pretty malty IPA.

M- Full bodied. Pretty chewy IPA. Kinda nice.

O- This was a nice fresh IPA. More malt then I tend to prefer in an IPA. The hops were big enough to balance it out though. A pretty good offering from these guys.

Serving type: growler

3.78/5  rDev -2.1%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

A: Poured a big, cloudy deep orangish copper color with good carbonation and a nice dirty white cap

S: Lots of flowers and citrus notes with a big bready note

T: Wow. Lots of IBUs here but this beer is big and hefty on the grain bill which provides one big chewy IPA. Some citrus and flowers with some bread are the dominant notes. There seems to be alot going on with this beer and it tends to be a little muddy at times but tasty, bitter

M: Big body, well carbonated, plenty of hop bittterness

O: A different IPA requiring an open mind but nevertheless it is good. It had to grow on me but once it did I found rather tasty and intriguing.

Serving type: on-tap
