The beer pours a slightly cloudy light copper color with a big foamy white head and sticky lacing. Some earth and herbal hop notes in the nose. There is almost sour malt note there as well. The taste is clean and crisp but the hops are muddled but not too bad. It could use a little more bitterness for balance.
It could use a little more body. The mouthfeel not as chewy as some of the IPAs that I like.Overall not a bad beer, just not great. CelticBrew (707), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA
