Imbibed on tap at Original Gravity on 9/8/12.

Slightly cloudy copper with a clingy white head. First thing I get in aroma is walnut. Like a husky nut with good flavor. Hops are clearly apparent and grassy, expected of a fresh hop ale. I also get some tobacco, strangely enough, light though, like a camel cigarette. Malt is nutty and metallic (in a good way), I can tell there's some  crystal used in here. I also get some cheerios cereal. This gets pretty bitter, but I don't think it's with all west coast hops. It's not chinook or warrior bitter. Hangs around in the back of the mouth, but it not annoying in the back of the throat. Medium feel with a moderately dry finish.

This is a solid IPA. It's not too high in alcohol and it's very balanced. Could have another.

Serving type: on-tap
