3.9/5  rDev -3.9%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

On tap in 16 oz pint glass

A- golden yellow in color with a 1/2" head that had decent stability. lacing was average.

S- for the hop character there is hardly any strong aroma. picking up a bit of vanilla and grassiness but much lighter than anticipated.

T- hops much more evident than on the nose, but pretty well balanced with the malt. after a few sips though you. Know you are drinking a IIPA.

M-nicely balanced and pretty drinkable. decent hop profile and carbonation is about right.

O - nice example of a IIPA. not in the top tier but enjoyable none the less.

Serving type: on-tap

4.04/5  rDev -0.5%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

Serving type: 12 oz bottle poured into IPA glass

A: Lighter golden color. Lighter than I would have expected for this style. Still pretty to look at. One finger head, left small amount of lacing on the side of the glass.

S: Definitely can smell the hoppy content of the beer. Noticed the aroma well before I poured it. Very nice citrus and grapefruit aroma. Some floral notes as well.

T: Moderately bitter. Not quite as much bitterness as i was hoping for. Slightly mislead by the great aroma. Slight caramel taste to it. Definitely taste the citrus, fruity flavors, some grapefruit. Masked the higher abv quite nicely.

M: Generally good carbonation. Mouthfeel was not disappointing. Medium body.

O: A good beer, but with so many other rather outstanding IPAs out there, this one may not be one i will go back for on a regular occasion, but definitely glad i grabbed a sixer of it. For I will definitely want more than one glass.

Serving type: bottle
