12 oz bottle courtesy Maltajo (the beast!). Pours a golden amber with a thick white head. Very citrus earthy resiny aroma. Really nice aroma. Taste is thick hoppy resiny, but well balanced by the malt. Finishes with a nice hoppy bitterness.

Draught: This one pours a clear, lighter amber color. There was a bit of a white head on it that leaves some lacing. Decent enough aroma. Grapefruit nose with a hint of pine. The taste is decently bitter, with some grapefruit and pine notes. Pretty well balanced with a decent malt body. A very good example of an IPA.

This is pretty much your average IPA. That’s not a bad thing, though. Small white head, hazy amber color with the hoppiness that you would expect from the style. Somewhat thin on mouthfeel. I enjoyed this beer, it just doesn’t stand out from the crowd.
