By far the best of the deconstructed pack by a mile. Nice color, wonderful aroma, and crisp floral finish to this beer. Makes me wonder why the origianl lat 48 beer isn't that great, obviously the other hop varietals don't do this one justice. I have never been one of those people that actually ask what kind of hops are in my beer, but if is see this kind being used in an IPA or DIPA, i will make sure to try it.

Poured into a pint glass
A: Aggressive pour yields 3/4 finger white head with good retention. Chill-hazy dark amber. Dark for an IPA, but typical of Latitude 48.
S: Bright citrus with a wave of caramel, some pineapple. Quite nice.
T: Subdued flavor that has pronounced bitter points and some dark fruit esters. Slight off cardboard flavor. Decent, though slightly astringent.
M: Effervescent, maybe a tad too much. Smooth otherwise. A tad phlegm inducing.
O: Fairly good. I'd order another, but wouldn't buy 6 of these.
