A: Dark golden brew with a 1/2 finger of white head that has moderate retention and leaves a fair amount of lacing.

S: A moderate amount of malts is there, and is necessary to stand up to the heavy hit of bright, citrusy hops.

T: Big sweet malts start of the brew and bring a slightly grainy, toasty flavor. They give way to the hops, which bring a welcome bitterness and a slightly piney flavor. the finish is dry and pleasantly bitter. The alcohol is amazingly well hidden for 7.5%

M: Moderate body, a decent amount of carbonation. It is slightly oily.

O: there is honestly nothing that stands out about this beer in terms of flavor, other than the fact that it is a remarkably well balanced IPA. The taste is an excellent blend of malts and hops, and I'm not one to complain about 7.5% ABV. Definitely a solid delivery.

Appearance is a orange-straw color with two fingers of fluffy head. The nose is distinctly hoppy, but also spicy as if there might be some rye in this offering. The taste and finish match the nose perfectly - bitter and spicy. This is a very good IPA that does not easily fit in the East Coast /West Coast definitions of IPAs.

Serving type: on-tap
