Apr 5, 2006 Draft. Pours slightly hazy darkish copper with a ~1cm creamy white head. Disperses quickly to a layer of foam that leaves a little lacing on the glass. Aroma is hops, fruity, grapefruity, maybe even a little lemony. Flavor is balanced towards hops, as it should be. Lots of grapefruity, flowery, lemony hop flavor. It does have a nice strong malt backbone. A good amount of bitterness, without being too much. Some malty sweetness that contributes to a solid, medium mouthfeel with the correct amount of carbonation, not overly or underly carbed. Overall a solid IPA. Not my favorite or the greatest, but I would surely order another pint or two and maybe even another growler to go next time I find myself at Rock Bottom.
