Medium sized white foamy head. The aroma was grapefruity and piney hops. Very fresh hop aroma. Medium bodied IPA. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are grapefruity. Fairly intense flavors with a lot of hop bitterness. Nice balance. Good carbonation. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean, crisp and dry. Aftertaste is bitter.
