Poured into a snifter.

Appearance. Orange tinted honey in color. A thin haze tints the beer. After a slow pour there is 3 fingers of head that slowly dissipates leaving a thick sticky lacing on the side of the glass. a nice thick frothy layer of head remains.

Smell. Huge bursts of grapefruit and blood orange. Some medicinal qualities as well. A bready malt lies underneath this.

Taste. Starts out wiht a dry citrus hop presence, with the grapefruit and orange that was present in the smell. Bitterness cuts this, but is not cloying. It remains for the rest of the time. After the begining of the bitterness the flavor takes on a more distinct herbal hop flavor. A dry bitter and citrus finish leaves the palate refreshed and ready for more.

Mouthfeel. Surprisingly thick body, with moderate prickly carbonation.

Other than the substantial bitterness this one is surprisingly restrained.

This beer was very light, nothing about this beer stood out. A very simple IPA, I would not recommend this beer. When I saw the beer color I was excited with anticipation, but after I tasted the beer I understood why it was so cheap. The glass is pretty cool though.

Serving type: on-tap
