look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

As this came off the truck today into my store, my rep told me about this little brewery and that all we could get was bottles for now as the few select kegs were slanted to go on tap in NYC.

My sample poured well with a creamy head that gave a off a floral aroma of hops in a dark golden body. I marveled at the champagne bubbles in my glass as I went for the first taste.

Instantly, I noted the floral and fruits of the hops while the medium to light body flexed like a Persian carpet being tested for its color qualities. I loved the soft water taste of the beer as I easily consumed it .

While it reminded me of some of the more famous IPA's of late, the ale had an an unusual power of staying on target with its taste all the way through. It was a grand beer that I should make more notes about as I will be looking for more.

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Pours a hazy, straw colored body beneath the pillowy, pure white head which is extremely slow to dissipate leaving a scattered sticky lacing.

Fresh floral hop aromas float from the glass, perhaps a touch of wheat and a touch of straw.

The palate is much more pronounced with hop flavors of flower petals and floral herbs. I would stop short of calling it spicy but the hops are certainly bordering on it at some points on the palate and there even seems to be a hint of lemongrass/lavender.

Medium to lighter in body wi generous carbonation and a sharper hoppy finish.

What a great, refreshing, hoppy brew with tons of character to enjoy.
