Pale yellow like the breweries’ other IPA and well carbonated. Nose of sweet fruits, flowers. The taste is decently hoppy, I can almost feel those little cones strugging to combat the alcohol and residual sweetness. Finish is first pleasent dry hops then a little alcohol burn which is unfortunate. I think it was a mistake to leave out dark malts.

Aug 18, 2008 Hazy straw and sort of flat-looking. Earthy, citrusy, woody hop nose with light pale malt backing. Moderate bitterness. Very dry, herbal hop character. Some toasty notes and an alcoholic finish.
