On tap @ work (Duckworths) served into a pilsner.

A- Pours a nice copper color with a 1/2 inch white foamy head. The lacing is that of sparkling wine, it glistens.

S- Fresh hops and sweet malts. I get some citrus and lemon grass. The malts smell like brown sugar and peach.

T- Nice hop presence with a malty backbone. A little two much malt on this one but the hops are so good. It has nice floral flavors as well as a good balance on the bittering hops and sweet malts. There is a small hint of onion and garlic on the finish.

M- Nicely carbonated and smooth like a good IPA should be. It's drinkability is one of the best.

O- A nice 2xIPA but i can see this one being very sub-settable to shelf life.... the fresher the better. It was up there with Gubna and Devil Dancer in my opinion with a more approachable drinkabilty.

Serving type: on-tap
