Nice floral and fruity nose. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Toffee/ caramel like maltiness (with a hint of toastiness that fades as it warms) countered by an aggressive grapefruit rind bitterness that carries through to the finish. Some slight lingering resin as well. I swear I taste a hint of noble hops. As a guy that is picky about IPAs, this is decent. jvmiller (532), Bel Air, Maryland, USA

Body is medium, just about right on the sweetness, not too much, not too little. Did not detect a whole like of citrusy aroma or flavor, but I thought this was pretty good.
