3/28/2023, at the brewery in Austin.

Beautiful thick head dissipated quickly, but left a nice thin layer of foam and thick lacing all around the edges of the glass. Deep amber in color.

Aromas are vegetal, skunk, malt, grapefruit.

Nice, light in the mouth. Not an overly complex flavor to overwhelm, so that what you do get is enjoyable. Slight bread, grapefruit, and pine. Beautiful lingering bitter finish.

Draft. Pokal.

A: bright gold with an orange tint. Bright white head, moderate streaming carb.

S: some leafy, citrusy northwest hops.

T: lightly bitter, crisp, crackers malt arrival. Dark, leafy, floral, slightly dank in character. Mildly lingering bitterness.

M: lighter end of mid-weight, crisp, well carbonated.

O: a very crisp and traditional IPA. It's hot, and a little windy here in Austin, but

Deep golden body with a persistent white head.

Pine, floral, and grapefruit hops and a lightly bready malt.

Medium body and bitterness.

Light amber, yellow-gold in color draft-poured into a frosty pint glass.

Subtle, flowery nose.

No heavy hop, citrus or bitterness; some of each though. It is not your traditional big american IPA, just a light, balanced, and easy to drink ale.

Medium to light feel with a decent finish.

I usually go for the big IPAs but this is a very safe and enjoyable selection.
