look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

Poured into a nonic pint glass.

A: A clear amber body with a very bright white head and minimal carbonation. No head retention but some lacing.

S: Aromas of fresh hops. Maybe a sweeter American hop.

T: Hops up front, malty middle and IBU latent finsh. Good IPA taste.

M: Light and almost refreshing.

D: A little too strong to session, but still very drinkable After a couple it doesn't matter.

I had this when I was in the mood for an IPA.

Medium golden color, crystal clear, good amount of bubbles floating to the top. About a 1 inch white head settled to a thin line really quickly. Very little lacing. Pretty clean aroma, little bit of grain and maybe a slight hint of orange. Taste is better than the aroma. Good sweet malt up front. Some fruitiness good hop backbone that stands up well to the malt. Medium body, crisp mouthfeel. Getting a warming feeling from the alcohol. Bready aftertaste lingers for a long time. Pretty well balanced. Very refreshing brew. Little high alcohol to be a session brew, but extremely drinkable. I liked it more as it warmed up for sure.
