***Got this through a friend who works at the West Chester, PA Iron Hill location. These were given to the employees as a Christmas gift for working at the restaurant. Not sold to the public, to the best of my knowledge.

A: Slightly hazy light orange amber color. Lots of loose bubbled head, similar to my homebrewing carbo. Seems to be nicely carbonated. Leaves some lacing.

S: Lots of Citra hops (if my nose is right)! Love it. Floral citrus. Pine. Some grapefruit. Orange marmalade. Smells like a nice IPA.

T: Up front bitterness on tip of tongue. That soapy piney hop character. Tastes like a home brew that we've made. In the mid palate you get some malt sweetness. It's not quite balanced, but works. Definitely leans more the the hoppy side. Dry finish. Lingering hop flavors.

M: Medium bodied.

Serving type: bottle
