What a great beer.

Beer poured with a creamy white 2 finger head. The head did slowly fade back into the beer and left an 1/8th inch skim across the top. Nice ribs of lacing all the way down the glass. Very clear golden amber color. Slight visible carbonation.

Aroma was spot on. Spicy, Floral and citrus notes. (Grapefruit) very fresh scent.

Flavor was approaching perfection. Nice citrus spicy bite out of the shoot. Then a moment of spiciness. White pepper. Then a nice malt sweetness that is followed by the hop bitterness that lingers. Just a joy to drink front to back. A slight spicy tone sticks with the hop lingering effect. You can almost feel the hop oils on your tongue.

Mouth feel is light in body but BIG on flavor. Smooth feel to the beer and the drinkability is amazing.

This is among my favorite IPA's.

Greenflash, Smuttynose and Stone IPA. Don't miss any of these.

4.06/5  rDev -4.7%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4.5

Bottle Poured in a 16oz Goose Island Glass

Appearance: Golden Yellow with a solid thin head. The lacing is maintained when tilting the glass.

Smell: Piney, citrusy, and lemon

Taste: Very Citrusy with a burst of Hops. It is nice and piney with lemon.

Mouthfeel: thin bodied with highly carbonated

Overall: One of my favorites IPA by far. It is pretty aggressive with the hops, but not as much as Ruination. It is fairly well balanced.
